About
Dr. Miji Yeo is pioneering the frontier of intraoperative bioprinting (IOB), a transformative approach to regenerative medicine that brings 3D bioprinting directly into the surgical suite. Her primary research focuses on developing advanced bioprinting strategies for craniomaxillofacial bone reconstruction, addressing the critical challenge of repairing large, complex bone defects that demand intricate manual surgical interventions. In her landmark 2025 study, "Intraoperative Bioprinting for Craniomaxillofacial Bone Reconstruction in Rats and Sheep," Dr. Yeo demonstrated the first successful application of IOB to reconstruct cranial bone defects in a large animal model, showcasing the technique's potential to streamline surgical workflows and improve patient outcomes. This work, already garnering early citations, represents a paradigm shift from traditional graft-based methods to a precision, on-demand tissue engineering solution. By integrating bioprinting into real-time surgical procedures, Dr. Yeo is not only advancing the field of craniofacial surgery but also laying the groundwork for personalized, intraoperative regenerative therapies that could revolutionize how surgeons repair critical-sized bone defects.
