This year the primary theme of the conference is bioprinting for clinical applications.
This event is unique throughout Central Europe and in some respect all over Europe as the ethical and legal framework of using bioprinted organs for direct clinical applications is still under development. Hence, we would like to focus the conference not just around the technicalities of tissue printing but also the use of such in vitro produced tissues in drug development, drug testing and highlighting the necessary –and often missing steps- in legislations to be able to use such in vitro made human tissues.

We are excited to offer a “hands-on” bioprinting experience. This workshop will be held at the János Szentágothai Research Centre on the 6th of October from 2 pm to 5 pm. The workshop will consist of two sessions:
The primary aim of the first session is to learn how to create presonalized 3D models of anatomical structures using conventional medical imaging data (CT or MRI). Participants will learn about the fundamentals of anatomical segmentation, and acquire the essential skills for creating 3D printable models using the open-source reconstruction software, 3D Slicer. After getting familiar with Slicer’s interface and basic capabilities, the workshop will be focused on how to handle, import, and load medical imaging data, and how to use the combination of manual an automatic (semi-automatic) segmentation methods to develop the most effective 3D model creation workflow.
In the second session, we will provide a video demonstration of the specific challenges of bioprinting. Participants will get a detailed protocol involving cell cultures to actual printing and finally cellular differentiation. Interested attendees have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Regemat type bioprinter.
Workshop tutors: Dr. Barcza Szilvia, Dr. Rideg Orsolya, Puskás Dániel
