When we'll be able to 3D-print organs and who will be able to afford them
What if doctors could just print a kidney, using cells from the patient, instead of having to find a donor match and hope the patient's body doesn't reject the transplanted kidney?
Top collegiate inventors awarded 2021 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize
The Wyss' Nicole Black has been named one of this year's winners for her PhonoGraft technology, which is a tunable, biomimetic eardrum graft that could help improve healing and hearing outcomes in tympanic membrane repair surgeries. Awarded on World IP...
Lewis Lab members have designed and made hundreds of face shields for frontline medical workers
When the coronavirus pandemic forced Harvard University to ramp down almost all on-site operations, members of the Wyss Institute community refocused their teams, and formed new ones, in order to fight COVID-19 on its multiple fronts.
3D-printed hearts with 'beating' tissue could ease organ donor shortage
Scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute say they are one step closer to that reality. In lab experiments, they have developed a new technique that uses living human cells to "print" functional heart tissue for an artificial heart — an innovation that could...
Vascular tree sculpture highlighted at Cooper Hewitt’s Wyss Institute Selects exhibit
Dr. Sanlin Robinson constructed a vascular tree sculpture that emulates the vascular networks found in our bodies and in bioprinted tissues produced by the Lewis Lab. This sculpture is currently on display through March 2020, as part of the Wyss Institute...
Perovskite LEDs begin to shine
In solar cells, the cheap, easy to make materials called perovskites are adept at turning photons into electricity. Now, perovskites are turning the tables, converting electrons into light with an efficiency on par with that of the commercial organic...
Lewis honored by inclusion in the Ferragamo Museum Exhibit on Sustainable Thinking
The Names Dress ( www.namesdress.com) is a 3D printed conceptual art piece that celebrates and brings awareness to the accomplishments of women in STEAM fields. The dress is made up of over 300 names of current and historic women in STEAM fields and is on...
