Development of super-macroporous chitin-based bioinks

The main aim of this project is to utilize chitin and its derivatives to fabricate super-macroporous bioinks using our mist-based printhead technology. The proposed project fosters a circular economy by expanding the bioink and bioprinting market and contributing to sustainable economic growth, while simultaneously addressing environmental challenges associated with crustacean shell waste. Additionally, it opens up new opportunities in healthcare by developing advanced and sustainable bioinks for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications.
