March 25, 2016, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Tong Lishengvisited to Zhejiang University, and gave a report on the theme "FromPolymer Processing to Fabrication of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds" in Mechanical College. Prof. Li Wei, Executive Dean of the School ofMechanical Engineering, Professor Yang Jiangxin, Secretary of theInstitute of Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, Yin Jun,deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of 3DPrinting Technology and Equipment, Professor Chen Xi of the School of control, Associate Professor Yao Xinye, Associate Professor ZhaoPeng, etc. More than 30 students from the School of mechanical engineering attended the report.
The report was hosted by Professor Yang Jiangxin. Professor Li Wei presented the appointment to give the letter to Professor TongLisheng as an adjunct professor at the School of mechanical engineering of Zhejiang University and personally dressed the Zhejiang University emblem for Professor Tong Lisheng.
After the end of the ceremony, Professor Tong gave a keynote report on the academic report. Professor Tong’s report first introduced the academic progress of polymer molding at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and introduced the results of cooperation with many universities around the world. Then, Professor Tong focused on the application of polymer molding technology in tissue engineering. Under the cooperation efforts of Teacher Tong and many other teachers, they successfully combined the three fields of polymer molding, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering, and opened up new ideas for tissue engineering research. Teacher Tong then introduced the research results in tissue engineering. The report demonstrated the successful application of 3D printing, electrospinning and other polymer molding techniques in vascular tissue and cell differentiation. In his subsequent report, Professor Tong shared his research ideas and the formation process of the research group, which provided a good reference for the future research work of teachers and students. Finally, Teacher Tong summarized the report, summarized the relevant characteristics of bioengineering, bio-manufacturing and-scaffold, and proposed the challenges faced at the present stage such as cell source and 3D structure realization, and prospected the future research results.
In the final questioning session of the report, the teachers and classmates present showed great interest in Professor Tong’sreport. Researcher Yin Jun’s report on the details of the report was discussed with Professor Tong for a long time. The students also rushed to ask questions and had a heated discussion with Tong teacher on their respective sexual interests. The academic atmosphere on the spot was very active. Finally, this academic report was successfully concluded with warm applause.
