About
Jillian Schilp is pioneering the scalable, automated fabrication of complex human tissue models, with a focus on creating more physiologically relevant in vitro systems. Her key research areas lie at the intersection of tissue engineering, microfluidics, and biofabrication, where she addresses the critical challenge of manufacturing thick, cell-dense tissues that accurately mimic the human body. Her most notable contribution is the development of a point-of-use, automated system for producing a 3D human liver model supplemented with human adipose microvessels. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 15 citations, demonstrates a significant leap forward by moving beyond custom, labor-intensive fabrication methods toward scalable, reproducible production of complex tissues up to one centimeter thick. By integrating vascular components, Schilp’s model better recapitulates the in vivo microenvironment, offering a powerful platform for drug testing and disease modeling. Her achievements highlight a commitment to democratizing access to advanced tissue models, making them more practical for widespread research and clinical applications.
