Biofabrication Facility Utrecht

The Biofabrication Facility Utrecht stands at the forefront of innovation in regenerative medicine. We specialize in creating functional tissues for biomedical research and development towards clinical applications, combining precision manufacturing with biological systems.

Our multidisciplinary approach integrates expertise from biology, materials science, engineering, and medicine to address the complex challenges of cell sensitivity and tissue maturation in controlled environments.
• Precise spatial control of cells and biomaterials
• Custom scaffold design for tissue-specific applications
• Controlled 3D-environments for cell growth and maturation
• Integration of signaling molecules for directed differentiation
• Collaborative research support and comprehensive training

Collaborations through the Biofabrication Facility, since its establishment in 2013, have resulted in a number of large national and international collaborative projects. In these projects, we are using 3D (bio)printing technology and living cells to create functional tissues for transplantation and for use as miniaturized models of health and disease, including those focussing on the regeneration of renal, cardiac, hepatic and pancreatic tissues and the innovative approaches in combining printing technologies and reinforcing living 3D tissue structures have gained widespread adoption in the field.
