About
Dr. Vivian Kim Lee is a pioneering researcher in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a particular focus on bioprinting and the fabrication of complex, multi-layered tissue constructs. Her most-cited work, "Multi-layered culture of human skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes through three-dimensional freeform fabrication" (2008, 572 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the development of functional skin substitutes. In this study, Dr. Lee introduced a novel approach to creating stratified skin equivalents by precisely depositing layers of human fibroblasts and keratinocytes using a custom-built bioprinter, effectively mimicking the native dermal-epidermal architecture. This work not only demonstrated the feasibility of using additive manufacturing to construct living tissues but also laid the groundwork for advanced wound healing therapies and in vitro skin models. With over 570 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference in the field, influencing subsequent research in organ printing, cell patterning, and scaffold-free tissue assembly. Dr. Lee’s innovative integration of engineering and biology continues to inspire new generations of researchers aiming to bridge the gap between laboratory constructs and clinical applications.
