Bioprinting and Tissue Engineering promise artificial organs that could solve the lack of enough donors for organ transplantation. These artificial organs can also be powerful tools to study disease and test new drugs. The search of the optimal biomaterial where cells mantain their in vivo function is big challenge in the field, where biochemical and mechanical cues influence cell fate.

In this project you will study the viability and function of mouse neural stem cells (mNSC) in different biomaterials for bioprinting applications.
