TwoComponentBioink (First Team FENG, FNP)

I have been awarded the prestigious First Team grant funded by FNP Foundation for Polish Science. The grant totals nearly €805,000 for 4 years, and as part of this project, I will be acquiring Poland’s first volumetric 3D bioprinter, which is incredibly thrilling.

The project at Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu aims to develop a two-component hybrid bioink for 3D bioprinting vascularized constructs, incorporating extensive material engineering, bioprinting techniques, and iPSC-based studies.
This initiative involves collaboration with esteemed institutions including Universidad de Valladolid (Jose Carlos Rodriguez Cabello), Åbo Akademi University (Xiaoju Wang), Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute – IDIBELL (Angel Raya), and University of Colorado Boulder (Jason Burdick).

The First Team program is designed to enhance the competitiveness of Polish applications submitted to ERC calls, supporting innovative research projects with significant potential for practical implementation.

The project will be carried out in the Center for Advanced Technologies at Adam Mickiewicz University in the newly established Jagoda Lab.
