The Master of Science Biofabrication Biofabrication is offered by the Utrecht University Utrecht University. Biofabrication is a truly multidisciplinary area of research. It requires an understanding of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, robotics and computer science. In this respect, few researchers entering the biofabrication field have been trained in such a diverse range of subjects.
This master’s programme is the right choice for you, if you’re motivated to become a multidisciplinary researcher and going to Australia for courses and a research project in your second year.
Why Study Biofabrication At Utrecht University?
What You’ll Learn
Biofabrication combines advanced fabrication techniques with biological systems to prepare designed tissue constructs. These can be applied for tissue engineering, as 3D in vitro biologic models or as medical therapeutic products. The Biofabrication programme will equip you with a toolbox to innovate within this multidisciplinary field. We will provide a thorough understanding as well as operational experience of processes such as 3D bioprinting and other fabrication technologies, biomaterials, 3D cell culturing, computer models and imaging.
