A new publication in Biofabrication highlights the future perspectives and challenges of biofabrication, drawing on discussions at the 2025 Alpine Winter School for Biofabrication.
In the review, early-career researchers and leading experts explore five key areas shaping the field: future technologies and devices, innovative biomaterials, societal impact and ethics, clinical translation, and the skills needed by the next generation of researchers.
The publication emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to advance 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By bringing together different scientific perspectives, the Alpine Winter School provides a platform for discussing emerging opportunities and the steps needed to translate biofabrication technologies into practical applications.
