This summer, Dang Nguyen, a Biochemistry major, interned at West Virginia University in the Tseytlin Lab and built a custom bioprinter from the ground up, including both hardware and software development. He used the system he built to print 3D bioconstructs to investigate spatial oxygen mapping. The goal of the research is to optimize bioprinting by providing information about oxygen distribution within printed constructs, with future applications in bioprinted tumor models for drug screening and therapy testing.
