Final Part A: Step One

My first step on my schedule of milestones on the path to my goal of finding out what it would take to 3D bio print a organic brain is, to google search people who have already looked into the subject. I have found out that its not so much that there are individual people who are interested and/or looking into the subject but groups of people who are interested in the societal benefits that 3D bio printing would allow us to have. A few of these groups would be Tufts University, University of Wollongong and the ARC Center of Excellence for Electromaterials Sciences (ACES). Tufts University has produced a mini 3D brain that actually functions as a real brain would. The University of Wollongong and the ARC Center of Excellence for Electromaterials Sciences are both studying the production of brain cells and if they can reproduce them for use in treating diseases. These are but a few of many groups that are involved in and active in studying how 3D bio printing, of the brain specifically, works.
