Extrusion Bioprinting of Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Dr. Chen is a Professor with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Division of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), Canada. Dr. Chen is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE), Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He is also the recipient of several awards in recognition of his research excellence, including the 2016 Achievement Award from Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation.   Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. degree from the USask in 2002 and then worked on his Post-Doctorate with Queen's University, Canada. In 2003 he was appointed as an Assistant Professor with the USask, where he was promoted to an Associate Professor and a full Professor in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Dr. Chen's research interests mainly include bioprinting and tissue engineering. His research has been supporting by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), and Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF). He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering.
