Why should you attend the lecture?
Print your own cells or bioprinting. Evolution in health care, individualization of medicine, expected changes in the quality of human life? What changes will it bring? Will it change the medicine only or will it bring a wide progress to society?
Annotation:
Individualization of medicine - its customization to the unique patient - is the next logical evolutionary step in health care. Using 3D scanners today we can easily record the specific anatomy of thepatient and through a 3D printing we can " materialize " for example individualized implants, respecting the fact that everybody is unique literally every-body is unique. Apart from individualized implants, it is the 3D printing with cells, which changes the appearance of medicine more than anything known to us for last 1000 years. Printing patient's own cells - bioprinting - is the beginning of an era of regenerative medicine , which among other things will also raise significant societal change. Today expected changes in quality of life, longevity, but also opens pandora's box of "enhancements" - upgrades of the natural and healthy physiological functions or properties of the human body.
