Tracy Xie, a student from the University of Ottawa, interviews Dr. Stephanie Willerth, a full professor and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Victoria. In 2019, Dr. Willerth's group pioneered a new way to 3D print neural tissues using fibrinogen, a natural substance that helps our blood clot.
In addition, Dr. Willerth is the CEO and co-founder of Axolotl Biosciences, a women-led biotech company. They have created the world's first commercial neuro-ink by bringing her 3D bioprinting technology to the market with Axolotl Biosciences!
In this episode, we discuss the journey behind creating this versatile bioink, the advancements it helped lead to, and the exciting future of 3D bioprinting.
