3D Bioprinting

Dr. Deepak Gupta, a postdoctoral researcher at Penn State, works on 3D bioprinting—using modified 3D printers to create tissues like bone and skin from biocompatible materials and living cells.

Challenges include regulatory approval and replicating complex organs like hearts or kidneys.
