Our Vision & Mission

Vision

Biofabrication and bioassembly technologies such as 3D and 4D printing, bioprinting, micropatterning and development of synthetic materials offer new and improved possibilities in different fields of science and medicine. The Medical Delta region is an ideal habitat in which to stimulate these developments, since all relevant disciplines and parties are present. By strengthening the collaboration within the biofabrication and bioassembly ecosystem, the CB&B - Center for Biofabrication & Bioassembly will have impact on regenerative medicine research in the Medical Delta region and, through this, societal impact on healthcare in the region and beyond.

Mission

The innovative methodologies used and the objects generated using biofabrication and/or bioassembly can have impact on multiple fields such as regenerative medicine and drug development. It can for example lead to the development of cell based constructs and tailored human organoid models to repair or regenerate diseased tissues and organs, such as cartilage, bone or liver, to restore function and improve patients’ quality of life.

Biofabrication and Bioassembly combines multiple fields of expertises such as engineering, chemistry, physics, material science and biology. Our mission is to bring different science disciplines together and facilitate collaborations between them for the benefit of knowledge, education, healthcare practice and industry. Within this collaboration, we further deepen the possible impact of regenerative medicine in the region and beyond, building on the foundations laid by the interdisciplinary scientific program Medical Delta Regenerative Medicine 4D.
