Allevi (previously known as Biobots) was one of the earliest companies focusing on bioprinting for pharma research and organ regeneration. We are fortunate to have a fun and insightful 20-minute ice breaker style interview with its co-founder and CEO Ricky Solorzano, starting from how Ricky got introduced into the RepRap movement, how he crossed paths with several great minds in the field throughout his scientific and entrepreneurship journey, where Allevi is as a company, and how he and his team is coping with the pandemic. Ricky will be speaking at the 3D Printing in Space panel at the upcoming 3DHEALS2020.

His complete more in-depth written interview can be found here.
