About
Dr. Baosen Tan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on stereotactic technology for 3D bioprinting. His work addresses a critical challenge in tissue engineering: creating bio-inspired, anisotropic tissue constructs that mimic the complex, non-planar architecture of natural organs. Dr. Tan’s major contribution lies in reimagining bioprinting from a robot mechanism perspective, moving beyond conventional Cartesian, layer-by-layer stacking. He has developed and analyzed novel stereotactic bioprinting prototypes, such as those based on double-parallelogram mechanisms, enabling precise, multi-axis motion control for printing along curved, biologically relevant trajectories. His research on trajectory planning for robot-assisted stereotactic biological printing provides foundational simulations for this emerging field. While his most cited work, “Stereotactic technology for 3D bioprinting” (2021), has garnered 15 citations, signaling growing interest, his cumulative impact is best measured by the paradigm shift he advocates: replacing axial-aligned slicing with motion strategies that allow for truly three-dimensional, anisotropic fabrication. Dr. Tan’s work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to advance bioprinting beyond simple planar constructs toward functional, patient-specific tissues.
