About

Natalie Lawrence is a leading researcher in the field of advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on the 3D printing of functional biomedical microdevices. Her work bridges the gap between additive manufacturing and biomedical engineering, exploring how light- and extrusion-based printing techniques can be used to fabricate intricate, functional devices that are difficult to produce using traditional methods like machining or molding. Her most-cited paper, a 2017 review on 3D-printing approaches for biomedical microdevices, has garnered over 130 citations, underscoring its influence on the field. In this work, Lawrence and her colleagues systematically evaluate the advantages and limitations of extrusion-based and light-based 3D printing, providing a critical roadmap for researchers seeking to create next-generation biomedical tools. Her contributions have helped shape the conversation around scalable, precise fabrication of microdevices for applications ranging from drug delivery to tissue engineering. Lawrence’s research continues to inspire innovation in additive manufacturing, making her a key voice in the development of functional, patient-specific biomedical technologies.
