Micromachines Webinar | Biofabrication Horizons, 9 April 2026
The “Biofabrication and Tissue Engineering” Section of Micromachines (ISSN: 2072-666X) has launched a new webinar series dedicated to fostering global dialogue and collaboration at the forefront of our rapidly evolving discipline.
Each webinar will spotlight groundbreaking advances in 3D and 4D bioprinting, next-generation bioinks, organs-on-chips and microphysiological systems, scaffold-free tissue assembly, advanced biomaterials (including stimuli-responsive hydrogels and decellularized matrices), microfluidics, hybrid micro/nano-fabrication techniques, and translational strategies that bridge the gap between bench and bedside.
By convening leading researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators, we aim to highlight the latest discoveries in disease modeling, drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and the commercialization of biofabricated constructs, ultimately accelerating the delivery of transformative solutions to patients and society.
Micromachines is proud to provide this platform to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange, amplify emerging voices, and drive the field toward clinically impactful innovations in personalized healthcare.
