Horizon Health: Bio-printing for Regenerative Medicine

Funds €7–10M projects that advance living-cell bio-printing from laboratory proof toward regenerative medicine.

ScheduledEuropean CommissionEU

Bio-printing living cells could help repair or replace damaged tissue, but printed constructs still need better precision, viability, maturation and reproducibility before they can support routine regenerative medicine. This topic funds research that tackles those barriers.

Projects should develop and test bio-printing approaches that combine living cells with suitable biomaterials and support ti

Developing and testing bio-printing of living cells for regenerative medicine. Projects should improve the precision, viability, maturation and reproducibility of printed tissues or constructs, address manufacturing and quality challenges, and demonstrate relevance to clinical repair or replacement. Work should connect cell biology, biomaterials, engineering and clinical needs, with appropriate validation and regulatory planning.
