On June 13, representatives of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute participated in the science outreach exhibition held within the framework of the INSCIENCE Conference. The faculty showcased a series of interactive exhibits highlighting recent advances in biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and regenerative medicine.
The main goal of the faculty’s participation was to promote science, demonstrate promising research directions, and introduce a broad audience to the opportunities and achievements of modern biomedical engineering.
During the exhibition, six interactive exhibits were presented, combining scientific research, engineering solutions, and hands-on engagement with visitors:
- Bioink Station: Bioinks & 3D Tissue Bioprinting — a demonstration of bioinks and three-dimensional tissue bioprinting technologies, one of the key areas driving the development of regenerative medicine.
- FluoroBox Experience: Interactive Fluorescence Lab — an interactive laboratory introducing participants to the principles of fluorescence and its applications in biomedical research.
- ZebraLab: A Living Biomedical Screening Laboratory — an exhibit dedicated to the use of Danio rerio(zebrafish) as a modern model organism for preclinical studies and the development of new therapeutic approaches.
- Mycelium: The Living Network of Nature — a demonstration of the biotechnological potential of fungal mycelium and its promising applications in bioengineering.
- The Imprint of Life: Bioforms and 3D Casts — an interactive station where visitors could explore technologies for creating bioforms and learn about advanced biomaterials.
- Living Palette: The Chemistry of Color — a series of scientific experiments vividly illustrating chemical processes and the mechanisms behind color formation.
The faculty’s exhibits attracted considerable interest from school students, university students, young researchers, educators, and everyone interested in contemporary science. Visitors had the opportunity not only to observe demonstrations but also to participate in experiments, interact with researchers, and learn more about the faculty’s educational programs and research projects.
Participation in the INSCIENCE Conference provided another opportunity to demonstrate the potential of biomedical engineering as an interdisciplinary field that integrates engineering, biology, medicine, and biotechnology to develop innovative healthcare solutions.
We would like to thank the organizers of the INSCIENCE Conference for the invitation and all visitors for their interest in science, active participation, and inspiring discussions.
