Design and 3D Printing of Hydrogels for Engineering Artificial Vascular Tissues

Younghui Ding, PhD

Vascular mimics based on advanced hydrogels and 3D-printing technologies show great promis for replacement of damaged tissues and organs, ex vivo drug testing, and in vitro disease modeling. These technologies allow for precise control of extracellular microenvironments which permit the construction of more clinically relevant tissue models in vitro. Here, I will highlight my recent advancements in the design and manufacturing of hydrogels for engineering vascular tissue models.
