About
Yoshihiro Kunitomi is a pioneering figure in the field of bioprinting and tissue engineering, with a focused expertise in developing advanced three-dimensional cell culture technologies. His most notable contribution is the invention of the "Three-Dimensional Multilayered Microstructure Using Needle Array Bioprinting System," a groundbreaking technique that leverages the natural adhesive properties of cells. This system enables the precise arrangement of cellular spheroids—formed when cells aggregate in nonadhesive wells—into complex, multilayered microstructures. By allowing different cellular components to be mixed within a single spheroid, Kunitomi’s work has significantly advanced the fabrication of functional tissue constructs for regenerative medicine and drug screening. His research, conducted at Cyfuse in Tokyo, Japan, has garnered attention for its innovative approach to overcoming traditional limitations in scaffold-based tissue engineering. With 3 citations on his most-cited paper, Kunitomi’s work represents a critical step toward scalable, needle-array-based bioprinting, offering a versatile platform for creating intricate biological architectures that mimic native tissues.
