The Citizen Science Lab Announces Collaborative for the 3D Printing of Organs, Funded by ...
Foundation: Pittsburgh Foundation
Imagine a 3D-printed organ that could save lives.
That's the goal of C3-PO (the Collaborative for the 3D Printing of Organs), a new project in the works by the Citizen Science Lab in Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The nonprofit will use a $75,000 grant from the Pittsburgh Foundation to provide local high school students with "hands-on experience in tissue culturing and the printing of organs," per a press release.
"The data tells us that black and brown students are less likely to participate in these activities during the school day," says Jamillia Kamara, the foundation's program officer for education.
"Through the program, the Citizen Science Lab plans to display the capabilities of already-existing 3D printing technology, and its potential impact on the field of modern medicine," adds Andre Samuel, founder and CEO of the Citizen Science Lab.
C3-PO is expected to launch in August 2022.
