About

Sebastian Eggert is a rising leader in open-source biofabrication, whose work is redefining reproducibility and throughput in additive manufacturing for tissue engineering. His research centers on developing automated platforms for melt electrowriting (MEW) and hydrogel production, directly tackling the field’s long-standing reproducibility crisis. In his highly cited 2021 work (20 citations), Eggert introduced an automated MEW platform with real-time process monitoring, enabling the fabrication of high-resolution, complex designs for applications from soft robotics to regenerative medicine. He further advanced the field with an open-source technology platform for gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based hydrogels (17 citations), replacing manual, error-prone workflows with high-throughput, tailorable production. By making sophisticated biofabrication tools accessible and standardized, Eggert’s contributions are empowering researchers worldwide to achieve consistent, scalable results. His work not only accelerates the translation of lab discoveries into clinical therapies but also embodies a commitment to democratizing technology—a hallmark of a new generation of engineers building the future of tissue engineering.
