The Vascular Tissue Challenge Roadmapping Workshop examined in great detail the state of the art technology in thick-tissue vascularization and 3D tissue engineering. As well as mapping out the pathways, milestones, and challenges towards ending the organ shortage benefiting from these technologies.
The goal of this workshop was to guide future research efforts and encourage new support in bringing about the end-product technologies for patients in need.
The workshop gathered together a diverse network of experts in tissue engineering, microgravity research, and other areas of interest to the advancement of tissue engineering technology. Throughout the two-day workshop, we enjoyed hearing from leading researchers who are working hard to advance this state of the art technology. These subject matter experts also participated in various roundtable discussions to identify the challenges, map out the future pathways, and milestones that would take us to the ultimate solution.
We greatly benefited from the their vast knowledge and expertise during the entire workshop. We are confident that you will too. Please click on the links below to enjoy a few highlights from the Vascular Tissue Challenge Roadmapping Workshop.
