Living Matter Engineering and Biofabrication  research group

A gorilla, a whale, and...lots of cool scientific advances in #biomaterials and #biofabrication at the ESB 2026 conference, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the European Society for Biomaterials! Between September 7th and 11th, Camille Bonhomme, Charlotte Brice, Paulina Nunez Bernal, and Riccardo Levato had a great time share our recent advances in volumetric #bioprinting and light-based biofabrication, encompassing new developments in 4D hydrogel design, and in pancreati

Today, the Dutch Research Council announced the awardees of this year's VENI Talent program. The lab is happy to share the fantastic news that Paulina received the grant, to kick-off a new research project on liver tissue bioprinting and modelling. Huge Congrats, Paulina for this very well deserved recognition! Many new medicines fail or cause serious side effects because current laboratory models cannot fully mimic how human organs work. The liver is especially important in

Technologies to help us build a healthier future: bioprinting and our lab were on-air on the Dutch broadcaster NPO2 yesterday! Check out our contribution to the show "Jekels jacht naar het eeuwinge leven" on NPO start: https://npo.nl/start/serie/jekels-jacht-naar-het-eeuwige-leven/afleveringen/seizoen-1 It was great fun to meet science communicator Diederik Jekel on his quest, and to explain our work, showcasing our #volumetric bioprinting tech to print cell-laden tissues in
