From biosensors to wound closure, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine focus on treatments of complex, chronic diseases, and even disease detection as new and existing medical conditions are studied.
The modern drug development process is long and expensive. An accurate human-cell-based model could mean that a drug that is ineffective or unsafe could be discovered early in the testing phase.

Riccardo Barrile, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science, is combining three powerful technologies — stem cells, 3D bioprinting and organs-on-chips — to create living human tissues and organs for use in drug screening, disease modeling and regenerative medicine. This research may someday lead to personalized medicine breakthroughs, fast-track development of new drug treatments, and eliminate the need for animal testing.
