Ouyang Liliang invented biological 3D printing technology.

Ouyang Liliang, a Doctoral student from Tsinghua University in Wanzyin County, won the competition by virtue of "expandable bio-3D printing technology for the manufacture of complex tissue organs" at the 2016 GE Foundation Science and Technology Innovation Competition, which ended at the beginning of this year.
bio-3D printing is the cutting-edge field of 3D printing technology research, but also the most dynamic and promising direction of 3D printing technology.
recently, the reporter contacted the technology star from the farmhouse, learned that he dares to explore the growth process of innovation.
Baishui Village out of a Tsinghua doctoral student video Ouyang Liliang clear-eyed show, polite, has the style of scholars, the young voice is full of humility, rigorous, cheerful.
although he has made remarkable achievements and contributions in the scientific research field, he still maintains a peaceful attitude.
" my name is Ouyang Liliang, home in Baishui Village, Wanxian County, a total of four brothers and sisters.
I am a native of the mountains, in the countryside to finish primary school, junior high school.
2005, I graduated from Baishui Junior High School and entered Wandse Middle School, and in 2008 I was admitted to Tsinghua University with the 2nd place in the county and the 58th place in the province.
graduated from Tsinghua University's Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2012 with a bachelor's degree and the title of 'Excellent Graduate' from Tsinghua University.
doctoral students who were recommended to Tsinghua University in the same year, will complete their ph.D. studies in July this year, and are currently receiving national scholarships for doctoral students.
" is like an introduction to autobiography, told a typical "mountain village fly out of the golden phoenix" story.
Ouyang Liliang also introduced the GE Science and Technology Innovation Competition Award he won in easy-to-understand language.
, this is a national science and engineering graduate science and technology innovation competition.
in fact, it is in Tsinghua University, China University of Science and Technology and other top universities in the country's science and engineering graduate students to select practical, innovative technology projects.
the main purpose of this program for some graduate students is to stimulate interest in technological innovation and encourage graduate students to explore innovative technologies, designs and new methods, as well as the application of technology in the latest cutting-edge technologies.
the ultimate goal of the new technology in clinical Ouyang Liliang and then introduced his hard-working research project - biological 3D printing technology.
technology is simply a 3D printing technique used in medicine or regenerative medicine, which is to print cells directly.
tissue organs in the human body are made up of multiple cells and complex structures, and when we build bionic tissues and organs in the body, current technology does not have a good solution to make or manipulate multiple cells.
I was inspired by the need to develop a technology that could use multiple materials, multiple cells, and simultaneous 3D printing to construct more bionic in vitro models," he said.
this is the starting point for my creation, and it's part of my research visit to the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, with the aim of more realistically bionic complex structures in the body.
The project is still in the research stage and has not yet been used for application and practical use, but its ultimate goal is to be clinically effective in the repair of some diseases, especially those with injuries, such as heart muscle injury, or similar tissue repair."
reporter asked him about the difference between the biological 3D printing technology he studied and the 3D printing technology that is often said now, Ouyang Liliang told reporters that biological 3D printing technology is the biological 3D printing technology.
And ordinary 3D printing is different, in simple terms, mainly printed out of the material is different, the common ordinary 3D printer is mainly printed out thermal materials, such as plastic, now the metal is also doing very well, applied in parts production, appearance production and other fields.
bio-3D printing technology printed out is a living thing, there are active growth factors, biological materials, mainly cell-based materials, these materials printed out after the main application in the field of biomedicine.
in the field of bio-3D printing technology is relatively young, is still in the research and development stage.
but it is the forefront of 3D printing technology research, but also 3D printing technology is the most dynamic and promising development prospects.
Hope to have the opportunity to return home cooperation to talk about how to plan their own lives in the future or how to find the right opportunity to return home this topic, Ouyang Liliang said, he is still a student, his future planning is to continue to engage in scientific research, hoping to enter the university as a researcher or teacher.
He said that he has been in his hometown, hope that in the future in his career, such as in the future in colleges and universities to engage in scientific research work, can often return to wand and alumni exchanges, but also hope to work with the hometown of educational institutions or alma mater Wandse Middle School to carry out some cooperation in the field of education, in order to train more outstanding talent to contribute their own strength.
"My hometown is known as the 'Land of Lily', and the subject I'm currently working on doesn't support the printing of crops like Lily.
, however, materials such as lily and lily powder are similar to those needed to print cells, and it may be used in cell printing.
but the improvement of lily itself is also gene recombination, not the scope of this field, it is aggrosm, plant genes in this area of research.
, " he said, "there are indeed a lot of unique things, if you can combine with some popular trends at home and abroad, it is very beneficial to the development of the local industry in his hometown."
the end of the interview, Ouyang Liliang also with a million years of hometown words sent to the hometown of nostalgia: "I wish the hometown more and more rich and beautiful, I wish the hometown father all the best, happiness and well-being!" "
