About
Dr. Hui Yee Chua is a pioneering researcher in the field of bioprinting and tissue engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Her most notable contribution is the groundbreaking 2015 study on printing cell-laden gelatin constructs through free-form fabrication and enzymatic protein crosslinking—a work that has garnered 128 citations and become a cornerstone in the field. This research addressed a critical challenge in bioprinting: the difficulty of using gelatin, an ideal material for cell encapsulation, in precise scaffold fabrication. By introducing an enzymatic crosslinking method, Dr. Chua enabled the creation of stable, cell-friendly constructs that maintain viability and structural integrity, paving the way for more complex tissue models. Her work has significantly advanced the precision fabrication of cell-bearing scaffolds, offering new possibilities for organ printing and wound healing applications. Dr. Chua’s innovative approach to overcoming gelatin’s limitations has inspired subsequent studies in bioink development and has been recognized as a key achievement in biomaterials science. Her research continues to influence the design of next-generation bioprinted tissues.
