BIOLIFE4D is committed to perfecting the technology to make viable organ replacement a safe, accessible and affordable reality. With BIOLIFE4D, a patient-specific, fully functioning heart will be created through 3D bioprinting and the patient’s own cells, eliminating the challenges of organ rejection and long donor waiting lists that plague existing organ transplant methods.
BIOPRINTING
What if we could print a human heart? Science has found a way. This is not science fiction. This is science fact. This is BIOLIFE4D.
BIOLIFE4D PROCESS
It starts with a patient’s own cells and ends with a bioprinted heart that’s both a precise fit and perfect genetic match.
