Bioprinted Developing Heart Models Workflow Illustration

Primary tabs

A diagram of the workflow in Vahid Serpooshan's National Science Foundation Early Career Development award study. The team starts with processing medical imaging data of patients to create 3D digital models of the developing human heart. These models are then bioprinted, seeded with cells, and analyzed using a variety of biomechanical and cellular assays to study the role of the tissue microenvironment in normal and abnormal processes of heart development.
