Manufacturing the Future of Biofabrication
About us
The BioFabUSA program is a public-private partnership between the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), a member-driven, nonprofit organization whose mission is to make practical the scalable, consistent and cost-effective manufacturing of engineered tissues and tissue-related technologies, to benefit existing industries and grow new ones. Within the last decade, significant breakthroughs in cell biology, biofabrication and materials science have laid the foundation for the large-scale manufacturing and commercialization of engineered tissues. However, the field of tissue engineering remains fragmented and lacks a mechanistic framework through which to translate laboratory discovery into manufactured products. The goal of the institute is to close the gap in focus that inhibits the commercialization and translation of research and development. By removing existing regulatory hurdles, producing scalable, GMP-compliant processes, and establishing a commercial ecosystem, ARMI will help catalyze and foster the development of a new industry.

The Manchester CREATES (Collaborative for Regenerative Medicine Education and Training for Engineers and Scientists) UNH Tech Camp initiative is charting a bold course toward the future, focusing on the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine and biofabrication (RM&B). This ambitious project, supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the National Institutes of Health under Award Number 1R25GM137381-01, underscores the pivotal role of NH in this emerging technology sector. In 2016, the (Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) | BioFabUSA) established its headquarters in New Hampshire, aiming to propel the large-scale manufacturing of engineered tissue technologies. This landmark move signaled NH's commitment to becoming a hub for cutting-edge biomedical advancements. Despite this progress, NH faces significant challenges in its STEM pipeline, necessitating concerted efforts to cultivate future talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Addressing this challenge head-on, seven dedicated Manchester School District science educators recently participated in the two-week-long Manchester Tech for Teachers Institute. This intensive program, designed to equip teachers with hands-on experience in RM&B, included studies on plants, planaria, and a range of other subjects to develop engaging, practical lessons for their students. The culmination of the institute saw the educators presenting their research and lesson plans, showcasing their newfound knowledge and enthusiasm. The event drew notable attendees, including the Superintendent, representatives from Manchester Proud, and various school administrators, all keen to witness the innovative approaches being developed. Dr. Jennifer Chmiel Gillis, reflecting on the success of the program, encouraged participants on their research and effort, “I don’t always get to see an idea come to life, but your work here is even better than we could have imagined”. Her words resonated with the educators, who expressed excitement and readiness to integrate their experiences into their classrooms. Sophia Sheehan, Science Educator at Manchester West High School reflected on the experience saying, “This experience has caused me to see everything differently, what can I use in my classroom for a lab experiment?”. A heartfelt thanks goes out to UNH Graduate School Manchester Campus for hosting this enriching experience for Manchester School District educators. The collaboration between educational institutions and cutting-edge research facilities is crucial for maintaining NH's role at the forefront of regenerative medicine and biofabrication, ensuring a bright and innovative future for the state.

On Day 2 of #MHSRS, G2G attended breakout sessions focused on reducing harmful behaviors among service members, pain management, improving traumatic wound healing, reducing infection, and mitigating chronic pain. Regenerative medicine is also a recurrent theme at the conference. We spoke to representatives of the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) | BioFabUSA about how they support development of military aligned products in this space at higher technology readiness levels (TRLs). Presentations in this space centered on the skin – including cell therapies to improve the quality of skin at stump sites among amputees to facilitate more comfortable prosthetic placement and new dermal templates to allow for reconstruction of skin across full thickness wounds in a single surgical step.

Meet ReConstruct Bio - one of our latest BioFab Startup Lab companies led by Luba Perry, PhD. We share her passion for her mission! And the whole Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) | BioFabUSA ecosystem is behind her thanks to the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Build Back Better grant and now with Tech Hubs funding, she also has the whole ReGen Valley invested in her success. Let’s do this, Luba and team!! #ReGenValley #biofabrication #womenshealth #innovation
I’m profoundly grateful to be part of a mission that is not just vital but absolutely life-changing for so many women. Breast reconstruction is more than just a medical procedure—it’s a crucial step for women who have survived the harrowing battle with breast cancer to reclaim their lives. And with 1 in 8 women globally facing a breast cancer diagnosis, the need for better reconstruction options is enormous. Traditional breast reconstruction methods come with significant drawbacks, leading to suboptimal outcomes and potential complications. This often leaves women with the tough choice of going flat. This is where our work at ReConstruct Bio comes in. Our BioImplant provides a revolutionary alternative to existing treatments—an engineered living tissue fabricated from the patient’s own cells, obtained via a minimally invasive procedure—offering a solution for women who urgently want better options. I am honored to be part of this mission to provide women with the solutions they have long needed but were out of reach due to the limitations of existing technology. This work is all about making a meaningful difference in the lives of millions of women who deserve better options. A huge thank you to the incredible ReConstruct team— Doug Kahn, Christopher Chen, Jennifer Lewis, Samuel Lin, Sébastien Uzel, Gozde Basara, and Dan Ludwiszewski—and to the Wyss Institute at Harvard University for making this groundbreaking work possible. I am especially grateful for the invaluable support from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), whose collaboration through the MedTech Innovator has been invaluable. I’m thrilled that our efforts have been highlighted in a recent article by 3DPrint.com. A special thank you to Vanesa M. Listek for beautifully capturing our vision and helping to spread the word about the work we’re doing at ReConstruct Bio.
