On the occasion of the museum’s 200th anniversary, the event was a resounding success, drawing a record-breaking 3,346 visitors. The museum was abuzz with engaging demonstrations that brought science to life, creating an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Two interactive stations were set up to showcase the latest in biomaterials and regenerative medicine research:
- 3D Bioprinting and Biomaterials: Visitors learned how liquid hydrogels can be transformed into solid structures—a fundamental process in 3D bioprinting that is pivotal in regenerative medicine. Guests had the opportunity to try hands-on activities at this station, gaining insights into the material properties that make 3D bioprinting possible.
- Stem Cell Applications in Regenerative Medicine: Attendees explored the unique characteristics and clinical potential of stem cells through microscopic observations and insightful discussions with local experts. If a 3D printer was available, a captivating live demonstration of bone bioengineering was also conducted.
The stations were expertly managed by Shuntaro, Masoumeh, Elise, and Janet, whose enthusiasm and knowledge left a lasting impression on visitors.
Odette, the event coordinator, expressed her gratitude to the team in a follow-up email, praising everyone for their exceptional efforts and the vibrant atmosphere that made the anniversary celebration truly memorable. The museum extends its appreciation to all staff and volunteers who contributed to making the event a remarkable success.
