AABME is conducting a series of webinars to examine a risk-based, conceptual framework developed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use at point-of-care manufacturing facilities. Webinar panels will include speakers from diverse groups, including medical device manufacturers, point-of-care manufacturers, technology developers, and the FDA. The framework includes the following scenarios: A. Minimal Risk 3DP by a Healthcare Professional B&C. Device Designed by Manufacturer Using Validated Process D. Manufacturer Co-Located at Point of Care E. Healthcare Facility Becomes a Manufacturer
In the tissue engineering industry there is a lot of discussion around the complexities of seeding adherent cells, the best modes for generating vascularized scaffolds, the challenges associated with the packaging and transport of tissue-engineered medical products (TEMPs), and how to get your product to market quickly.
Gain access to free tools and resources from AABME, an initiative designed to stimulate biomedical innovation by bringing together and providing resources to the biomedical engineering community.
This presentation will provide a brief description of the various forms of VR technology and describe the trajectory of Clinical VR over the last 20 years addressing health and clinical treatment of anxiety disorders, PTSD, pain management, autism, and in the assessment/rehabilitation of stroke, brain injury, and other neurologically-based conditions. We will also discuss advances in Virtual Human technology for clinical training, healthcare coaching, and clinical interviewing.
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has built a spinal implant that may one day be used to heal a broken spinal cord in humans.
Biomedical engineers are developing a number of techniques to 3D print corneal transplants to overcome shortages of donated corneas.
A new prosthetic hand offers amputees the ability to “feel” grasping and manipulating objects—and it’s already being used at home, outside the laboratory setting, for several months.
Biomedical engineers grow personalized tissue transplants for heart, spinal cord, and brain from patients’ own fatty cells.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, created a 3D-printed spinal cord implant that help heal spinal injuries and markedly restores neural functioning. The implant shields neural progenitor cells while also directing orderly growth of axons.
Korean researchers find simpler way to discover which bacteria can produce the highest concentration of a valuable chemical intermediate.
Biomedical engineers develop self-cleaning glaucoma implant that could prevent blockage, improve eye treatment.
Engineers have tested a design for synthetic grafts that mimics the active wrinkling of natural arteries, a movement that helps to reduce the risk of thrombosis.
Researchers used cells to build and test a disc replacement with the strength and flex of a native disc, paving the way for human use.
Handheld BioPen filled with stem cells grows bone and cartilage to heal failing joints
