Developing new bioinks for Volumetric Bioprinting (Fastest 3D printing) technique
This project's primary focus is to develop new biocompatible materials for advancing applications of volumetric printing for tissue engineering applications.
Presently, the majority of additive manufacturing involves extrusion, vat polymerization, inkjet, or laser technologies that use either point-based or layer-based mechanisms. Volumetric 3D (bio)printing is a significant emerging technology that facilitates the creation of objects as entire entities; this has the potential to revolutionize the field. The development of novel materials and the testing of diverse bio-applications will unlock the potential of volumetric bioprinting. Here the project will focus on experimentation with various bioinks and biomaterials and their manipulation using volumetric printing technique—applications of this system include tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and others.

This project aims to develop bio-compatible inks that can be used to manipulate and print cells with the assistance of a volumetric bioprinter.
The following tasks are included in the project:
1. Optimizing the volumetric printer for incorporation of various bioinks.
2. Developing novel bioinks for the bioprinter and their manipulation in the printing system.
3. Cell viability testing of the bioink's and the optimization of their functionality.
4. Optimization, characterization and application of the new bioinks in the volumetric printing setups.
Looking for highly motivated students who are willing to learn and develop their skills during the project.
