9:00 – 9:15 AM: Opening Remarks (Provide room number here) Welcome address by Dario Bogojevic.

9:15 – 10:30 AM: Presentation (Provide room number here) – Bioprinting Topics Overview

• CELLINK Company & Technology Overview: Introduction to CELLINK's mission and bioprinter portfolio; distinguishing features of DLP vs. extrusion-based bioprinting; notable applications and customer success stories.
• Published Research Highlights, BIONOVA X (DLP Bioprinting): Three published studies showcasing DLP bioprinting applications relevant to placenta, lung fibrosis, and cancer research.
• Published Research Highlights, BIO X (Extrusion Bioprinting): Two published studies showcasing extrusion bioprinting applications relevant to attending labs' disease model interests.
• 3D Modeling Workflow for Bioprinting: Basics of CAD in bioprinting; supported 3D file formats (e.g., STL); slicing and print preparation; best practices for designing 3D tissue constructs.
• Building a Bioink – Fundamentals & Components: What bioinks are and why they matter; main biopolymer components (gelatin, alginate, collagen, GelMA, etc.); formulation principles; crosslinking methods (ionic, photo, enzymatic); overview of CELLINK's ready-to-use and customizable bioinks.
• Fundamentals of DLP & Extrusion Bioprinting: Core principles of DLP (digital light processing) bioprinting; core principles of extrusion-based bioprinting; comparative advantages, limitations, and application areas for each modality.

10:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Hands-On Bioprinting Demo (Provide room number for Lab)

Live demonstrations and hands-on experience with two CELLINK bioprinting platforms. BIONOVA X (DLP) – two demo models; BIO X (Extrusion) – two demo models. 

12:00 – 1:00 PM: CELLINK Sponsored Lunch & Networking (Provide room number) Lunch provided by CELLINK. An opportunity to network, discuss bioprinting ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities informally. Workshop concludes at 1:00 PM.
