ibiTea Topic Outline
Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Tumor Microenvironment Modeling and Personalized Medicine
Presented by Cristina Scielzo, IRCCS Hospital San Raffaele Milan, Italy
Our first speaker, Cristina Scielzo, will present a dynamic 3D bioprinted in vitro tumor model system to study the interaction of leukemia cells with their microenvironment.

Cristina Scielzo, PhD, is Group Leader of the Malignant B cells biology and 3D modelling Unit in the Division of Experimental Oncology, IRCCS Hospital San Raffaele Milan, Italy.
Her team is studying the leukemia / microenvironment interactions in response to therapies. They are developing new advanced 3D in vitro co-culture systems by prototyping a bench-top 3D bio-printer and dynamic growth in bioreactor to recapitulate in vitro a proper lymphoid microenvironment.
Advancing Beyond 3D Bioprinting: New Approaches for the Fabrication of Human Tissues for Disease Modelling
Presented by Gianluca Cidonio, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
Our second speaker, Gianluca Cidonio, will present a cutting-edge microfluidic-based 3D bioprinting method for precise and reliable control of the material composition and cell organization creating next- generation in vitro tissue models.

Dr. Gianluca Cidonio is an Assistant Professor (Researcher Tenure-Track) and Group Leader of the 3D Bioprinting lab at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMA) at the University of Rome La Sapienza. Dr. Cidonio is a research scientist and a bioengineer, graduated (BSc and MSc) in Biomedical Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome.
Her team is studying the leukemia / microenvironment interactions He has worked for more than 10 years on the development of new 3D bioprinting approaches for the regeneration of human tissues and disease modelling purposes. Presently, Dr. Cidonio is interested in pushing forward the boundaries of “what we can print with unique microfluidic-assisted approaches”.
