Description	Aspect Biosystems is a Canadian biotechnology company founded in November, 2013. The company spun out from two internationally recognized research groups in engineering and medicine at the University of British Columbia. Aspect Biosystems is working towards a future where doctors determine which drugs work for their patients before prescribing them, where animals are no longer needed for the development of new therapeutics, and where lifesaving transplant organs are created, not harvested. To realize these goals, Aspect has developed a disruptive 3D bioprinting platform technology capable of creating living human tissues on demand.
