- A record amount of money is spent developing new drugs, but drug approval rates are declining and many fatal diseases are left untreated. A big reason behind this is often times current drug testing methods including animal testing don’t accurately predict the human response to drugs. What if we can 3D print living human tissue to test new drugs and study disease?
Tamer Mohamed talks about how 3D printing human tissue will allow us to develop better, safer, and cheaper drugs while reducing our reliance on animal testing. Beyond drug development, Tamer imagines a future where replacement organs are 3D printed using a patient’s own cells, avoiding organ wait lists and the risk of rejection.
Tamer Mohamed is a biomedical engineer, innovator, and entrepreneur. He is President and CEO of Aspect Biosystems Ltd., a biotechnology company operating at the leading edge of 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering - www.aspectbiosystems.com. Tamer can be reached at tamer@aspectbiosystems.com

Videos like these make me realize how great it is to live at a time where multiple disciplines could come together to make something as great as biotechnology. Extremely grateful today
honestly, i found that inspiring. this is an example of someone taking full advantage of their cognitive abilities, renovating medicine, and serving a massive favour to humanity. big applause 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 from Egypt
Wonderful talk, and I love the potential of 3D printing human tissue. The future is exciting.
Thank you for educating us on the future of 3D printing! Great talk!
great talk... so grateful, happy and proud to watch you talking about tissue engineering
Brilliant talk, Thankyou for helping me get through lockdown!
Good job, tissue engineer!
Biomedical Engineer
Amazing ❤️
Great Talk!
Amazing
Nice talk !
Tell FDA THAT
standing applause from Indonesia~
Amazing Tamer. I am an of ophthalmologist dreaming of printing tissues to repair the eye. How do we connect?
Alberto Martinez It’s in the bio
Way safer to use red light to heal eyes...
buzzin to get myself a fresh gallbladder
So do it already! Please!..
This straight up litty fam ngl.
WOW great replacement organs the body won't reject but how much is that going to cost and will insurance cover it at all?! COD DAMN so not necessarily a good green light to start doing crack while always only eating donuts but still this is great news great video!! :P
I would like to know whether artificial kidneys are now prepared, please inform me the the address of the place
Been a while, any progress on this?
Cell Culture 2.0
Or should I say 3dimensional cell culture
This is already reality .
2021 is it ready yet?
LEts do it for food as well..
printed steak! yummy
5 years later there's still no bioprinted organs...
He just made a 2.6 billion dollar deal with Novo Nordisk. What did you do?
When can i print my GF out...? Will she be recyclable if i decide to print out a new one..??
What do you mean we can’t test experimental drugs on humans? Isn’t that exactly what clinical trials are doing?
There isn’t a single drug that doesn’t work by symptom suppression. Here’s a novel idea, let’s focus on eliminating the causes. No more cigarettes, alcohol, processed foods, junk food, processed sugar, soda, artificial sweeteners, etc. Then maybe we don’t need these? Transhumanism 🤦♀️
Hopes were not justified. This is the getting of grants and earning money. Bioprinting will never print a complex organ.
they basically said that they are using animal cruelty/testing
