ABOUT US

Next Big Innovation Labs® (NBIL) has been operating in the domain of bioprinting for 7 years now. Since our inception in May 2016, we have been working with pioneers in the domain of bioprinting to push the envelope of what is possible within the domain. The support from the government via state and central government grants (Idea2POC, IIGP 2.0 and BIG) was the impetus that allowed us to explore customized bioprinting and its requirement across the wide array of applications. The vision of the company is to build robust bio-fabrication tools and bio-fabricated products for applications in clinical, academic, and industrial pursuits.

During our journey in the domain of bio-fabrication, we have worked with thought leaders in the field. Some of our key collaborators are Dr. Falguni Pati (IIT-Hyderabad), Dr. Sujata Mohanty (AIIMS, Delhi), Dr. Sudha Warrier (Manipal) and Dr. Niraikulam Ayyaduri (CLRI). We understand the importance of working across sections of research and hence, since our inception, have fostered strong industrial collaborations as well. A few of our keystone industrial collaborators are Merck KgaA (Germany), Autodesk India, HiMedia® Laboratories and Microsoft.

With a spirited approach to build strong inter-disciplinary bio-fabrication oriented projects, we launched Trivima Bioprinters (our Made in India customised bioprinters) that can cater to a wide array of bioprinting projects and protocols – ranging from bone based bioprinting to core biomaterial research to clinical research. Our Trivima Bioprinters are proudly installed at some of the foremost research institutes in the country – Central Leather Research Institute (Chennai), AIIMS (New Delhi), IIT (Hyderabad), King George Medical University (Lucknow), Manipal University (Manipal), JIS Istitute for Advanced Scientific Research (Kolkata), Somaiya Vidyavihar (Mumbai) and Sastra Deemed University (Thanjavur). Trivima serves as a tool for us to explore stronger collaborations with each one of these institutes.

To build the inter-disciplinary mindset required for bioprinting, we created Next Big Learning, a foundation online course on bioprinting which is curated by Dr. Jayesh Bellare (IIT- Bombay) and delivered by us and an array of experts namely Dr. Geetha Manivasagam (VIT, Vellore), Dr. Amit Jaiswal (VIT, Vellore) and Dr. Deepak Kalaskar (UCL, London). The course now caters to more than 400 students in India and abroad and has allowed students, researchers and clinicians to explore new applications in bio-fabrication.

We believe this is just the start and there is a lot more that we can do to serve the society better and, through collaborative projects, will build a community that will, one day, bridge the organ transplantation demand via bio-fabrication.
