Rochester # The 3D bioprinting solution: harnessing microbes for sustainable compound synthesis # RoSynth engineered a 3D bioprinter for optimizing the production of in-demand plant-derived molecules. Along with medicinal uses, plant-derived molecules have formed the basis of dyes, cosmetics, rubber, waxes, and flavorings for thousands of years. As climate change is impacting the availability of plants, there is an increasing need for local, stable and efficient plant biomolecule synthesis. Our team built the first home-built two-channel 3D bioprinter that is capable of printing our engineered prokaryotic and eukaryotic hydrogel parallel culture system in a cost effective manner. ...
