Meet the Expert

Dr Carmine Gentile

Dr Carmine Gentile
Senior Lecturer/Group Leader

Carmine leads the Cardiovascular Regeneration Group working on 3D bioprinting/stem cell technologies at the Kolling Institute/University of Sydney and UTS. He received his BSc/MSc (Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technologies) and PharmD at the University of Pisa, Italy and his PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Cardiovascular) at the Medical University of South Carolina, USA, funded via the prestigious American Heart Association Fellowship.

Since 2013 Carmine has worked at the Heart Research Institute, working within a multidisciplinary team to translate his findings from bench to bedside. An internationally recognised expert in the field of 3D bioprinting/stem cell technologies, his recent studies focus on novel molecular and cellular approaches to treat cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction and heart failure. These studies are based on the use of “mini-hearts” he developed as “bioink” for human heart tissues. In 2016, he was invited as a Visiting Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, where he worked towards novelin vitromodels using mini-hearts to study human heart physiology.

More Less

During this course you will be introduced to the basics of extrusion and light-based bioprinting. You will learn how this novel technology can be used to print tissue models mimicking the innate cellular environment and be introduced to some of the most common applications.

About this course

Bioprinting technology is an emerging and growing research field that combines additive manufacturing principles for the engineering of tissues and organs for both in-vitro and in-vitro applications. During this short course, you will learn directly from global leaders in the field about basics and latest advancements in the field.

You will 3D bioprint cells in the laboratory and will have the opportunity to receive feedback on your ongoing and future projects using bioprinting technologies.

Key benefits of this course

This course has been designed to:

  • Provide sufficient knowledge on how to choose and use bioinks for a variety of tissues and organs
  • Support researchers with no previous experience in 3D bioprinting
  • Expand your knowledge around bioinks, hydrogels and 3D bioprinters for both in-vitro and in-vivo applications in a transdisciplinary manner.
