Axolotl Biosciences, an award-winning start-up spun out of the Willerth lab at the University of Victoria, provides turn-key reagents such as functional bioinks, 3D tissue models, and consulting services in the field of 3D bioprinting. Our goal is to improve human health through novel 3D printing technologies.

Our initial product – TissuePrint – is a highly optimized bioink formulation for 3D printing human tissues using stem cells that is currently available for purchase through our website. We are currently beta testing our second product – BrainPrint – a novel neurobioink capable of printing delicate neural stem cells while maintaining a high-level cell viability and function.
