Skolkovo-based 3D Bioprinting Solutions has made headlines lately in the 3D bioprinting arena for its FABION bioprinter and the stated objective of creating implantable, bioficial human organs. I had a chance to interview the laboratory’s founder, Alexander Ostrovsky, and he confirmed that their work is based on an international collaboration involving several top researchers worldwide.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has also shown a very deep interest in the possibilities offered by 3D bioprinting technologies and has praised the upcoming collaboration between 3D Bioprinting Solutions and Harvard, with the possibility of installing a FABION 3D printer at the top tier US university. “Be friends with Harvard,” said Medvedev.
Just as US President Barack Obama has done for Making and industrial 3D printing, the Prime Minister has shown similar excitement for bioprinting. In particular, during his visit at Skolokovo’s yearly startup village, last June. After the executive director of the company, Yusef Khesuani, and the marketing director, Julia Smirnova, showed Dmitry Medvedev the world’s first organ construct, a mouse thyroid printed with the FABION bioprinter, the Prime Minister asked, “And where is the bioprinter itself? Show it to me.”
