Cytoink is committed to shaping the future of biomedical R&D by emphasizing precision and efficiency, thereby revolutionizing traditional approaches and minimizing reliance on animal testing. Their innovative solutions aim to accelerate scientific progress while ensuring robust and reliable outcomes.
Bioinks, which are used to print complex tissues, are substances made of living cells suspended in polymers or hydrogels. These “inks” are used in printing devices to formulate scaffolds for cell expansion, or entire 3D printed organs and tissues.
“At Cytoink, we envision a future where accuracy and speed are the cornerstones of biomedical research, driving impactful healthcare outcomes,” said Martin Tomov, co-founder of Cytoink. “We are thrilled to join the RegeneratOR Test Bed, a hub of innovation that aligns perfectly with our mission to empower research and industry leaders worldwide.”
The RegeneratOR Test Bed, operated by the RegenMed Development Organization or ReMDO, is renowned for fostering collaborative environments where cutting-edge technologies converge to advance regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering. By welcoming Cytoink into its ecosystem, the Test Bed continues to expand its capabilities and influence within the biomedical community.
“We are excited to welcome Cytoink to the Test Bed,” said Joshua Hunsberger, CTO of ReMDO. “Their expertise in biomaterials and commitment to innovation aim to accelerate the development of technologies that benefit both researchers and patients.”
Cytoink’s integration into the RegeneratOR Test Bed signifies continued steps to build and support the Piedmont Triad RegenMed Engine, a part of the inaugural National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Engines program. In this ecosystem, research in biomedical innovation works to pioneer new standards in biotechnology, facilitating breakthroughs that enhance global health outcomes.
