On this episode Jay Myers is joined by Gurkaran Chowdhry, Directer of Business Development and Operations, 3D BioFibR

3D BioFibR’s patented dry-spinning process uses extensional flows to create well-aligned protein fibers at scale, by mimicking how these fibers are made in nature. Our current focus is on using our collagen fibers to develop research and clinical applications, including in-vitro tissue culture, 3D bioprinting, and tissue engineering.
