Description
Motivation and application domain
Development and characterization of 3D bioprinted in vitro brain tissue models.
General objectives and main activities
An ad-hoc developed bioink will be used to 3D print advanced in vitro brain tissue models using neurons differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Different layouts will be tested. The 3D constructs will be characterized by immunocytochemistry and by electrophysiological recordings.
Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
To gain practical experience in the development, engineerization and characterization of 3D printed brain tissue models.
Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: DIBRIS, University of Genova
