2021 Ohio State Materials Week: April 1 Biofabrication and clinical 3D printing at Ohio State

2021 Ohio State Materials Week

Ohio State Materials Week is back for 2021 and has gone virtual!

Join us for this virtual event series showcasing leading-edge, materials-allied research and innovation from science and engineering to systems and manufacturing at The Ohio State University.

The Institute for Materials Research (IMR) is happy to announce the return of Ohio State Materials Week this semester.

The 2021 showcase of materials-allied research at The Ohio State University will be an augmented, interactive celebration of advancements and achievements in the materials community.

Attendees this spring are invited to join experts in a wide range of fields for in-depth discussions about cutting-edge research, virtual tours of facilities and lab spaces, and more behind-the-scenes looks at how Ohio State is pushing the boundaries of innovative research in areas ranging from fundamental areas of materials science, such as materials for quantum information and ultra-fast optics to energy-efficient wide bandgap semiconductor devices, 3D biomanufacturing, and even the challenges of digital manufacturing and supply chain management.

Biofabrication and Clinical 3D Printing at Ohio State

10:00 AM EST

Register

Join us April 1 for the final session of 2021 OSU Materials Week: Biofabrication and Clinical 3D Printing at Ohio State. Biofabrication is a rapidly growing field that sits at the intersections of bioprinting, additive manufacturing, and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

This webinar will cover activities across Ohio State in biofabrication, as well as new projects bringing 3D printing into a clinical setting at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine.

Experts from Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering to Biomedical Engineering and beyond will present innovative biofabrication activities currently underway across Ohio State, as well as guide attendees through video tours of lab spaces in which some of this interdisciplinary research and developments take place.

Edward D. Herderick, director of additive manufacturing at Ohio State’s Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence, will provide an overview of the field, and breakdown the scope and outlook of Biofabrication efforts at the university. We will welcome five more experts to give in-depth looks at various activities and labs. Stay for a panelist discussion and Q&A with the presenters.

Meet the presenters:

Kyle Van Koevering, an assistant professor in Otolaryngology, will take attendees into the Medical Modeling, Materials and Manufacturing Lab (M4 Lab) to learn about 3D printing models for the operating room.

Aleks Skardal, assistant professor in Biomedical Engineering, will present extracellular matrix bioinks for 3D bioprinting.

Katelyn Swindle-Reilly, assistant professor in Biomedical Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, will discuss her lab’s work healing wounds to the cornea.

D ave Hoelzle, assistant professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, will give us a look into microscale manufacturing in the Hoelzle Research Lab.

David Dean, associate professor in Materials Science and Engineering, will present his lab’s work advancing 3D bioprinting for osteo engineering.

For more than a decade, IMR has dedicated one week in May to celebrate the innovative research and accomplishments of the materials community at The Ohio State University. This year, we’re taking a new approach to that celebration. 2021 OSU Materials Week is going virtual, with online presentations, virtual tours and a host of other interactive sessions covering a wide range of areas.

Each year, IMR solicits topics of interest from faculty to be featured throughout OSU Materials Week to ensure the range of research areas covered each year reflects the breadth of the materials community at Ohio State, while always being different.

Join us this year as we explore new frontiers in quantum information science, revolutions upending the traditional manufacturing landscape, Ohio State’s role in materializing one of “NSF’s 10 Big Ideas” with new quantum technologies, and the future of biomanufacturing and its effect on research and clinical medicine. Attendees are also invited to take a virtual tour of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay facilities available for collaborative research via Ohio State’s first offshore research center, the IIT Bombay-Ohio State Frontier Center.

IMR welcomes researchers from academia, industry and government labs, as well as students and the greater community, to come together, learn, and create connections and collaborations at this virtual event series.
