About the International Society for Biofabrication

From basic science to medical applications, the biofabrication community convened at the International Conference on Biofabrication (Biofabrication 2019). The field of biofabrication is dedicated to researching and integrating technologies such as bio-printing, bio-plotting, and bio-assembly into applications such as engineered tissue systems and regenerative medicine. The International Society for Biofabrication's (ISBF) core purpose is to foster scientific and technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. ISBF promotes the interaction between and convergence in the different disciplines of the field of Biofabrication, as well as between basic research and applied practice. Further, the Society aims to promote the cooperation with other scientific organizations and communities.
