Biohub engineers, led by Rafael Gómez-Sjöberg & Michelle Khoo, designed and built the 3D organoid bioprinter for this work, which will help improve research on how our organs form and function, and develop new treatments for disease. New in @NatureMaterials.
Organs grow in a body that shape-shifts with them. UCSF scientists invented a gel that mimics this soft support and 3D printed stem cells into it - reliably seeding mini-organs that could speed drug testing in petri dishes. tiny.ucsf.edu/Rr2BvW
organs develop in a dynamic environment where their boundaries are constantly changing shape, relaxing, compressing, etc. in synchrony with the embryo.
see how this inspired us to create a material for optimal organoid bioprinting & self-organization!

Attending the 2025 SFB Annual Meeting in Chicago this April? 🗣️Stop in to hear great talks from the 8 scientists below, during the Postdoctoral Recognition Award (PRA) Competition on Thursday, April 10th at 1:30 PM CT in Room 4C! #biomaterials
friends, i am beginning my migration, let's hang on bluesky! bsky.app/profile/austinjgrah…

Avery is a postdoc in my dept at GT, someone I know personally. She nearly died because doctors could not treat her miscarriage until she was actively dying- a direct result of anti-abortion laws in GA.
VOTE, canvas, donate- do whatever you can, or this is coming nationally.
"I went to the hospital when I passed a dinner plate-sized clot of blood at home… the doctors are very clear this will progress to being life-threatening — But when exactly I am dying, that's not as easy a call to make, and they shouldn’t have to make it…"
— Avery Davis Bell shares her harrowing miscarriage story and why Georgia's abortion ban put her life at risk

Check out this organoid printer from the Bioengineering team at #CZBiohubSF, developed in collaboration with @ZevGartner of UCSF and his Biohub Collaborative Postdoc @austinjgraham.
our new preprint is live – check out our nifty MAGIC matrices! (1/7) doi.org/10.1101/2024.02.01.5…

importantly, i want to thank everyone who made the work possible, esp my labmates in the @ZevGartner lab and the unmatched support at @czbiohub. this massive body of work wouldn't be possible without incredible collaborators eager to work on interdisciplinary problems. (6/7)

Happy to see this work on #kidney tubule packing out today in @NatureMaterials! 🥳
This was a team effort with @HughesLabPenn, major shoutout to co-first authors @liujiageng10 & John Viola for all of your hard work, time, and expertise.

we got the cover! elated to finally see this in print – huge congrats to @GinaPartipilo, artist extraordinaire @mister1smar, and all the co-authors @KeitzLab @RosalesGroup that made this work possible (1/3)
Our October issue is live!

The cover depicts an engineered living material with controllable mechanical properties: Bacteria (orange) embedded in a hydrogel are programmed to control the expression of MtrC which regulates microbial respiration
this led to me zev's lab at UCSF where i'm now able to work on thrilling interdisciplinary problems ranging from soft matter physics to tissue biology. i've been so fortunate to be in love with my research, and it's all thanks to all who have supported me! stay tuned... (3/3)
