In order to enhance the exchanges and cooperation between young researchers and promote the collaborative innovation of biomanufacturing, an interdisciplinary medical-industry discipline, on July 3, 2021, the first Biodesign and Manufacturing Youth Forum was successfully held in Hangzhou Tianyuan Building. The forum was chaired by Academician Yang Huayong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and co-sponsored by the School of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Electromechanical Systems, and the journal Bio-Design and Manufacturing. The forum invited Professor Yu Shrike Zhang from Harvard University in the United States, Professor Yan Yan Shery Huang from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, Professor Xiaobin Xu from Tongji University, Researcher Ruan Changshun from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Researcher Gou Maling from West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Professor Liang Yunhong from Jilin University, Professor Zou Jun of Zhejiang University, Associate Professor Xiong Zhuo of Tsinghua University, Associate Professor Liu Shiyu of Air Force Military Medical University, Associate Professor Feng Lin of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Assistant Professor Wu Yang of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) and other 11 young experts and scholars at home and abroad combined online and offline Form academic reports. Also attending the meeting were Zhang Yuehong, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of biological design and manufacturing, He Yong, Yin Jun, Yang Geng, Wang Yancheng, Tao Kai, Xu Kaichen, Han Dong, Zhang Bin, Ma Liang and other related fields from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Zhejiang University. There are more than 120 young teachers, as well as scholars and students from Tsinghua University, Dalian University of Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Sichuan University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and other institutions.
Academician Yang Huayong, chairman of the conference, first gave a speech to welcome young talents from afar, and hoped that everyone present could choose bio-manufacturing as their career direction and make their own contributions in this emerging field of medical-industry intersection.
The morning forum was hosted by Professor Yong He and Associate Researcher Zhang Bin from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Zhejiang University. This forum kicked off with a wonderful report by Professor Yu Shrike Zhang of Harvard University. Professor Zhang gave an online report entitled "Advanced Bioprinting Strategies for Tissue Biofabrication", which systematically introduced bioprinting strategies for different types of tissues and organs. . Afterwards, researcher Gou Maling from Sichuan University brought a report on "3D Printing and Cell Preparation Research" and introduced the application of 3D printing technology in cell preparation research. Researcher Xu Xiaobin from Tongji University brought "Nano Patterns for Biological Applications" The wonderful report of "Chemical Technology and Electric Field Driven Motor Research" introduced in detail the research progress made in large-area nanopatterning and how to remotely manipulate micro-nano-structured objects through electromagnetic fields to achieve subcellular-scale cell detection and Control drug delivery.
Researcher Ruan Changshun from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, brought a report on "Research on Bio 3D Printing Materials for Tissue Regeneration", which specifically introduced a series of excellent printing inks, supplemented by advanced manufacturing of biological 3D printing technology Means to expand the application of its bio-3D printing tissue regeneration system in biomedical engineering such as tissue engineering bone, cartilage and blood vessels. Professor Liang Yunhong from Jilin University’s report was titled "Bionic Intelligent Drive Material Design and 3D Printing Manufacturing". The report introduced the self-developed bionic intelligent flexible materials and drive components. The wonderful report was unanimously welcomed by teachers and students.
The afternoon forum was hosted by Researcher Yin Jun and Associate Professor Ma Liang from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Zhejiang University. First of all, Professor Jun Zou from Zhejiang University brought together "Some Explorations and Thoughts on Flexible Drives and Transmissions Based on Fluid Power" and shared the team’s presence here. Some work done in a field and ideas for future research in this field. Associate Professor Xiong Zhuo from Tsinghua University brought a report on "Low Temperature Deposition Manufacturing and Cell 3D Printing", which systematically reviewed the exploration and practice of the research team of Tsinghua University in the field of biological manufacturing over the past 20 years. Assistant Professor Wu Yang from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) brings you the report "Research on Soft Tissue Regeneration Based on Integrated Biological Manufacturing of Structure and Function", creatively using biological manufacturing technology to construct tissues that can be used for the repair of human cartilage, tendons, etc. Substitutes to realize the structure/function integrated biological manufacturing of biomimetic tissues. Associate Professor Feng Lin from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics gave a report titled "Application Research of Field-Controlled Micromanipulation and Micro-Nano Robot System in Cell Microsurgery and Other Fields", bringing you the research progress of field-controlled micro-nano robots. Associate Professor Liu Shiyu from the Air Force Military Medical University brought a report titled "Exploration of New Functions of Extracellular Vesicles", which revealed a variety of important biological functions of extracellular vesicles and established regulatory strategies based on biological materials. The final report of this forum comes from Professor Yan Yan Shery Huang from the University of Cambridge, UK. She made an online report titled "Cross Length Scaled Biofabrication", which focused on a variety of cross-scale biological manufacturing methods and their applications.
