National Museum of Health and Medicine Historical Collections Manager Alan Hawk shows bioprinter technology to visitors at the April 26, 2025, Military Medicine Innovation event at the museum in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Hawk describes three different devices from the museum’s Historical Collections that showcase regenerative medicine developed through Department of Defense grants. The Hewlett Packard InkJet printer proved the ability of 3-D cellular printing, and paved the way for bio-printed skin for burn treatment. The braided nerve scaffold was used to regrow damaged areas of a patient’s own cells. The biospleen prototype is a novel dialysis-like device that quickly filters bacteria, fungi, and toxins from the blood.
Hawk emphasizes that the development of these innovative devices has led to even more impressive technology that benefits the warfighter. (National Museum of Health and Medicine Photo by Kevin Sommer Giron)
