IISc opens Center of Excellence for 3D bioprinting for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine

CELLINK and IISc following an agreement in August of this year have opened the doors to the country’s first 3D bioprinting Center of Excellence, which will focus on providing researchers tools to advance discoveries.

CELLINK and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have opened the doors to the first 3D bioprinting Center of Excellence in the Indian subcontinent. Housed in the Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) at IISc’s Bengaluru campus, the CoE will provide access to 3D bioprinting systems, enabling researchers to accelerate their work across critical applications with the ultimate goal of improving health outcomes.

The CoE currently houses several CELLINK instruments, including the BIO X, BIO X6 and the BIONOVA X. It will now officially be accessible to the region’s current and future researchers.

“This center of excellence offers the most cutting-edge and industry-leading 3D Bioprinting technology that we at CELLINK have developed, systems that will enable significant strides in research and in developing the future of health. We are extremely proud to be able to partner with IISc, an institute at the forefront of scientific research as can be seen by the new Medical School being led by Director Prof Rangarajan,” said Tomoko Bylund.

"We are extremely pleased to partner with CELLINK to initiate efforts in this frontier technology which can greatly accelerate development of therapies, drug discovery, personalised medicine and many other applications that can have tremendous impact on human health," said Prof Rangarajan.
