Stampa il tuo medicinale - Lee Cronin

Il chimico Lee Cronin sta lavorando ad una stampante 3D che, al posto di oggetti, è in grado di stampare molecole. Un'interessante e promettente applicazione a lungo termine: creare il proprio farmaco usando inchiostri chimici.

Chemistry and digital technology are converging to create 3D printers that can produce molecules on demand. In one lab, researchers have prototyped a system that prints both chemical vessels and targeted molecules, using universal 'chemical inks.' This approach could make it possible to manufacture medicine at home or anywhere it's needed, simply by downloading a blueprint. On-the-fly drug creation could transform healthcare, making treatments hyper-personalized and widely accessible.
