In Maryland, the National Institutes of Health gave $6.25 million for the new Texas-based Center for Engineering Complex Tissues. CECT is a collaborative effort between bioengineers at Rice University, the University of Maryland, and Wake Forest University focusing on tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. Projects will focus on technologies to develop new tissue and 3D bioprinting to help the biomedical field with tissue repair and regenerative medicine. While each of the three universities will specialize in a specific 3D bioprinting area, they will work closely together to share best practices and help each other with their projects. CECT will work with six additional collaborative projects with others like Harvard University and the Mayo Clininc, as well as six service projects with Columbia University, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M University, Synthasome, and others around the country.
