About

Sylvain Catros is a leading figure in the emerging field of *in vivo* bioprinting, where his pioneering work bridges tissue engineering with computer-assisted surgical intervention. His most influential contribution, a landmark 2010 study (275 citations), demonstrated the first-ever application of bioprinting directly within a living organism. By designing a high-throughput biological laser printing workstation, Catros successfully printed nano-hydroxyapatite into a mouse calvaria defect model, proving that robotic-assisted bioprinting could be used for *in situ* bone repair. This foundational work opened the door to a new paradigm of computer-guided, minimally invasive regenerative medicine. His subsequent 2015 research further refined these laser-assisted techniques for *in vivo* and *in situ* biofabrication, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in translating bioprinting from the lab bench to the operating room. Catros’s work is not merely academic; it directly addresses the critical challenge of delivering cells and biomaterials with surgical precision, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the future of automated, patient-specific tissue regeneration.
