About
Brandon Hanke is a pioneering researcher in the field of tissue engineering and biofabrication, with a focus on developing advanced, scalable in vitro models of human organs. His major contributions center on automating the creation of complex, vascularized tissue constructs that more accurately mimic physiological conditions. Notably, his 2022 work on the automated fabrication of a 3D human liver model supplemented with human adipose microvessels (15 citations) addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the challenge of producing thick, cell-dense tissues (up to 1 cm) at scale using standardized, point-of-use methods. This breakthrough moves beyond custom, labor-intensive solutions, offering a reproducible platform for studying liver function and disease. Hanke’s research has significant implications for drug screening, personalized medicine, and reducing reliance on animal models. By integrating microvessels into his constructs, he enhances nutrient and oxygen delivery, enabling more realistic tissue survival and function. His work represents a vital step toward clinically relevant organ-on-a-chip systems, positioning him as a key innovator in next-generation biofabrication technologies.
