About

Dr. Aijun Li is a leading figure in the convergence of additive manufacturing and cancer biology, with a primary focus on developing 3D-printed platforms for advanced tissue engineering and tumor modeling. Her most cited work, "3D Printed Solutions for Spheroid Engineering and Cancer Research" (2022, 12 citations), introduces innovative bioprinting strategies that enable the precise fabrication of multicellular spheroids. These constructs recapitulate the native three-dimensional microenvironment essential for organogenesis and tumor progression, overcoming the limitations of traditional 2D culture systems. Dr. Li’s contributions are pivotal in creating physiologically relevant models that allow researchers to study cell-cell interactions, drug resistance, and metastatic behavior in a controlled, reproducible manner. By bridging engineering and oncology, her work accelerates the development of personalized cancer therapies and reduces reliance on animal testing. With growing recognition in the field, Dr. Li’s research continues to shape the future of 3D cell culture, offering powerful tools for both fundamental developmental biology and translational cancer research.
