»Organ as a Service impressed the jury of this year’s UX Design Awards as an outstanding example of a successful synergy of new technology and convincing digital software design. This interplay opens up the possibility of a radically new business model in the field of bioprinting. Indeed, Organ as a Service is spearheading a fundamental shift in biotechnology research. Here, a generative system – straightforwardly applicable for external users – is used to produce specific living tissues and unique copies of organs, which can then serve as a substitute for animal experiments in biological and pharmaceutical research. An open approach to high-tech and intuitive software is helping to bring about exponential growth, and bridges the gap between the current state of the art and an ideal technology. A striking reminder of the potential of design as an integral facet of innovation, Organ as a Service is the recipient of this year's Gold Award.«
