General objectives and main activities
The aim of this thesis is to be able to develop a method to print cell patterns on MEA-HD using a 3D bioprinter. The student will have to learn to cultivate neurons derived from stem cells and to program the Allevi 1 printer in such a way as to guarantee vitality to the printed cells, so that they can exhibit spontaneous electrical activity recordable by MEA-HD.
