Day one videocast: Morning sessions included 3D printed Eyewire neurons by James Drake and Oculus fly through the brain.
Afternoon seesions included strategies for how to implement open source bio printing accessible and inexpensive… available for research. NIH 3D printer exchange is creating file formats for bioprinting cell types.
The NIAID Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB) is pleased to host our annual 2015 Bioinformatics & Computational Biosciences Festival, Science in 3D.
Despite the fast-growing applications for 3D technologies, they are not widely used in the biosciences at present. The festival will look at several aspects of 3D technologies including modeling, printing, and visualization. Speakers will explore bioprinting, physician and patient education, medical and surgical devices, augmented reality for medicine, and policies surrounding this exploding field. The festival will feature high-level presentations by subject matter experts from government agencies, academia, and the private sector.
