Biofabrication 2019 will bring together scientists, engineers, regulatory specialists, industry participants, and clinical investigators from around the world to present and share their recent discoveries, research direction, and views on the current problems and opportunities in the exciting field of biofabrication. Five plenary, sixteen keynote, ninety podium, and hundreds of poster presenters will gather for two and a half days at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. (The meeting program is now available for download.) In addition to a sponsor’s trade show, special fora are planned on publishing strategies, transnational research, regulatory issues, industrial technologies, and opportunities for young researchers, as well as a Gala Dinner at the Columbus Museum of Art. There will be ample time to meet old friends and new collaborators, learn about funding opportunities, and meet the organizers of national and international consortia dedicated to promoting the field of biofabrication.
