Axolotl Biosciences was founded by doctors Stephanie Willerth and Laura De La Vega and biomedical engineer Laila Abelseth. Willerth, a UVic professor of biomedical engineering and director of the university’s Centre for Biomedical Research, said 3-D printing is exploding around the world, with a quarter of it devoted to health-care applications. That’s the segment the company, named for a salamander with regenerative properties, has targeted. “The market for bioinks is a couple of hundred million dollars alone,” said Willerth. “And there isn’t a comparable product, in terms of getting such good cell function and viability, on the market right now.”
