Episode #15 | Interview with Stephanie Willerth, Bioprinting Brain and Axolotl Biosciences Artwork

The Lattice (Official 3DHEALS Podcast)

Welcome to the Lattice podcast, the official podcast for 3DHEALS. This is where you will find fun but in-depth conversations (by founder Jenny Chen) with technological game-changers, creative minds, entrepreneurs, rule-breakers, and more. The conversations focus on using 3D technologies, like 3D printing and bioprinting, AR/VR, and in silico simulation, to reinvent healthcare and life sciences. This podcast will include AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions, interviews, select past virtual event recordings, and other direct engagements with our Tribe.

While there is no rule for our podcast content, the only rule we follow is to provide our listeners with a maximized return on their attention and time investment.

A fascinating conversation with upcoming 3DHEALS2020 speaker Dr. Stephanie Willerth on where bioprinting and biofabrication technology is to help with drug development and screening of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease if we can create tissue replacements, "mini-brain", as well as her new bio-ink startup, Axolotl Biosciences.

See the full interview here.

Dr. Willerth holds a Canada Research Chair in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Victoria where she has dual appointments in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Division of Medical Sciences as an Associate Professor.

She serves as the Acting Director for the Centre for Biomedical Research at the University of Victoria and on the steering committee of the B.C. Regenerative Medicine Initiative. She also served as the President of the Canadian Biomaterials Society from 2017-2018. Her honors include being named the 2018 REACH award winner for Excellence in Undergraduate Research-inspired Teaching, a Woman of Innovation in 2017, one of the 2015 Young Innovators in Cellular and Biological Engineering and a “Star in Global Health” by Grand Challenges Canada in 2014. She spent Fall of 2016 on sabbatical at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery supported by the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries International Travel Award where she wrote her book “Engineering neural tissue using stem cells” published by Academic Press.

She completed her postdoctoral work at the University of California-Berkeley after receiving her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University. Her undergraduate degrees were in Biology and Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Willerth will be speaking at the upcoming virtual 3DHEALS2020.
