Opening in 2020, the Herston Biofabrication Institute will advance knowledge and technology in 3D scanning, modelling and printing of bone, cartilage and other human tissue to repair tissue that is lost or damaged.

It will take a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together researchers from multiple scientific, clinical and industry disciplines at the Herston Health Precinct, one of Australia’s largest integrated health, teaching and research precincts.
