About us

Polbionica – innovation biotechnic company. We develop a 3D bionic pancreas and supply key products for the advancement of 3D bioprinting.

Polbionica is a spin-off from the Foundation of Research and Science Development, which  bioprinted the world’s first bionic pancreas with full vasculature in March 2019. Polbionica  holds expertise in bioprinting and type 1 diabetes (T1D), and has an extensive collaborative  network of experts and Key Opinion Leaders.
Our mission is to introduce 3D bioprinting into  clinical practice worldwide. Our vision is a fully functional bionic pancreas as a new gold  standard T1D treatment. Our strategy is to bring to market the key building blocks for the  bioprinting of a bionic organ: a novel bioreactor ReaserchLine and bioinks’s line TintaBionic and Printiss with unique physiological  properties. Polbionica aims to fill the gap between organ shortage and transplantation needs. 

 
The research team has benefited from a €6M STRATEGMED grant from the National Centre  for Research and Development in Poland to develop the technology. Our achievements as  pioneers of the niche of bionic pancreas received international media coverage. Our efforts were also acknowledged by numerous awards: Golden Leader of Health Care (category  Innovative Ideas), Golden Scalpel award for the innovators in Polish Health Care, and “Poster of  distinction” and “Best in Congress Poster” from the American Transplant Congress. Our Phase  1 SME instrument application received Seal of Excellence.
