SSL collaborate with the University of Newcastle on Bioprinting Vision

1 October 2021

Working towards improved tissue functionality

In 2020, the University of Newcastle applied for a ESPRC project with Santorini Scientific as one of their partners. This was secured in 2021 and finally launched in January 2022.


The project is developing a 3D Bioprinting Head which would allow biological cells to be 3D printed with greater density, thus enabling great tissue functionality. Santorini Scientific’s contribution means that the first cells trialled for this revolutionary new 3D bioprinting technique will be cardiac cells. 


Find out more, watch the video below to see a time-lapse of the HL-1 cells.
