Published purpose

This project seeks to advance bioprinting technology for space applications, focusing on wound healing in microgravity. This dual-purpose initiative aims to improve astronauts' health while providing immediate treatment for severe burns. The main objectives include experimental analysis of bio printed skin in a developed microgravity simulator, utilizing computational modeling to simulate multilayer skin properties, and integrating AI-driven topology optimization algorithms in bioprinting for enhanced precision. Building upon existing knowledge in space tissue bioprinting, the project pioneers immediate medical applications in microgravity.
