  • The most common problems with synthetic implants
  • How 3D bioprinting can aid in the creation of complex living tissues, like an ear, a nose, a kidney or a liver
  • The easiest and most difficult types of tissues to implant in the human body (and why)

Daniel Cohen, Ph.D. is Consulting Chief Operating Officer of PrintBio and former Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of 3DBio Therapeutics, a company that aimed to create complex living tissues that can be implanted in the human body to treat various conditions.
