OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide turn-key reagents, including bioinks, 3D tissue models, and consulting services in the field of 3D bioprinting to advance the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We envision delivering innovative products that enable the 3D bioprinting of humanized tissue models for advancing medicine.
OUR STORY
From university research group to award winning tech start-up
Axolotl Biosciences was founded in Victoria, BC in 2020 by Dr. Stephanie Willerth, Dr. Laura De la Vega, and Laila Abelseth. A spin-off of the internationally recognized bio-printing focused research group lead by Dr. Willerth at the University of Victoria, Axolotl was born from the demand for innovative bioinks by academic researchers and biotechnology companies alike. Using our expertise, understanding, and focus on the biological needs of cells in 3D bioprinted constructs, we have created a novel bioink capable of printing hiPSC-derived neural cells that maintain high levels of cell viability for over a month.
