Organovo's 3D Bioprinting: A Win For Pharmaceuticals?

Seeking Alpha | Ryan Fitzwater
What you’re about to read could change the world of medicine as we know it.

The technology I’m talking about is three-dimensional cellular construction, better known as 3D bioprinting, and the company delivering this revolutionary technology is Organovo (ONVO).

Based in San Diego, and founded in 2007, Organovo is a startup that looks to take regenerative medicine to the next level with its bioprinting technology.

How It Works

Organovo has created the NovoGen MMX Bioprinter™, the only commercial bioprinter in the world proven to create tissue.

Using both a software and hardware platform, NovoGen can take primary or other human cells and form them into three-dimensional tissue.
