Lawrence Bonassar, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, describes a cutting-edge process he has developed in which he uses a 3D printer and "ink" composed of living cells to create body parts such as ears.

Bonassar's research group focuses on the regeneration and analysis of musculoskeletal tissues, including bone and cartilage.
