After many years of research, design, and engineering, I finally had a chance to reflect on our work at Biorealize. Bioreactors as Additive Manufacturing has just been published by 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing and discusses two of our products, the Microbial Design Studio and B | Reactor, with case studies in biomaterials design. At Biorealize, our goal was always to lower the barriers to working with biology and to help people develop new relationships with bacteria, yeast, and algae.

This was also the last publication I wrote while on leave but still a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. Special thanks to Karen Hogan, my co-founder, who poured her heart and soul into Biorealize between 2015 and 2022. Mike Hogan, Ricky Solorzano, and many other team members, investors, and mentors were also key in making this a reality.
