Great ideas belong on the big stage!

FABRICATE 2025 is opening its doors to 20 Oral Presentation and 20 Flash Poster slots for researchers shaping the future of biofabrication, bioprinting, and biomaterials. If you’ve been working on next-gen biomaterials, organ-on-chip models, regenerative medicine, biosensors, or breaking free from animal experimentation, this is your chance to put your research in the spotlight.

No, we don’t promise eternal scientific glory (yet). But we do promise a room full of experts, fresh ideas, and conversations that could take your research further than you ever expected.

Submissions close February 20th. Send in your abstract, get selected, and let’s talk science—the kind that changes things.

Know someone who should be up there presenting? Tag them! Let’s get the best minds in biofabrication in one room.

To submit your abstract check our profile bio.

Astronauts in deep space travel are always subjected to higher pressure, higher energy ionizing radiation, and cosmic rays that can heighten the hazards of prolonged spaceflight in an enclosed vessel. 

To address this issue, space agencies and private businesses have been researching effortlessly and they envisaged that the on-orbit Bioprinting capability will provide researchers the opportunity to print 3D biological structures, to generate personalized grafts or implants for repair of tissue injuries under unique space conditions. These specimens can be further cultivated and processed on orbit or returned to the ground for further processing in laboratories on Earth.

3D Bioprinting can also go beyond medical applications and print non-mammalian cells (e.g., microalgae and cyanobacteria) for utilization in life support systems, as well as to produce food and secondary metabolites.

Development of vascular network for an efficient mass exchange is important to generate three-dimensional (3D) viable and functional thick constructs in tissue engineering. Recently, bioprinting has been considered as a promising method in vascular tissue engineering 
 
Among the various Bioprinting technologies, Coaxial Bioprinting is considered highly effective for the fabrication of complex tissue constructs.
 
Coaxial Bioprinting is an extrusion-based technology that enables the fabrication of complex tissue constructs by the controlled deposition of printable materials, sacrificial materials, and improved resolution through inline crosslinking.
