NAME Laboratory for the production of bioinks
Laboratory focused on the development of natural and biocompatible bioinks to be processed by 3D printing. Manufacture of protein and polysaccharide bioinks, determining the viscosity of the bioinks and printing them. In addition, mechanical properties, mucoadhesion, and bioactive release from the materials obtained are measured.
