Empowering Progress: How the BioAssemblyBot™ Is Advancing Breast Cancer Research Worldwide

At Advanced Solutions Life Sciences (ASLS), we believe technology can help restore what cancer takes away - offering new possibilities for healing, confidence, and quality of life. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to spotlight our global partners who are making profound and positive impacts in the fight against breast cancer, powered by our BioAssemblyBot™ platform.

Rebuilding Confidence Through Innovation — Healshape

In Lyon, France, Healshape is redefining breast reconstruction with groundbreaking bioprosthesis technology designed to naturally regenerate a patient’s own tissue.

“BAB played a very important role in the design of the first prototypes of our bioprosthesis. Its customization to meet our specific needs and the safety cabinet ensuring the cleanliness of the 3D printing process are essential for our device. The Healshape team particularly appreciates the responsiveness of the Advanced Solutions team, which provides us with support even from the other side of the world!”— Sophie Brac de la Perrière, CEO & Co-Founder, Healshape

"In Connecticut, Professor Liisa Kuhn and her team at UConn Health are using the BioAssemblyBot™ 200 and 400 to create custom-fit silicone mesh breast prosthetics for women recovering from mastectomy and lumpectomy procedures. Supported by philanthropic funding from the Connecticut Breast Health Initiative and the Beekley Family Foundation, this work is changing lives. These lightweight, custom-designed prosthetics fit more comfortably and naturally than traditional models, helping breast cancer survivors regain confidence and comfort. “The mesh silicone prosthetics are transformative for these women… They have expressed an increased sense of confidence due to having their outer appearance restored with a better fitting prosthetic.”— Dr. Liisa Kuhn, Professor, UConn Health

Engineering Hope for the Future — University of Maryland

At the University of Maryland, Professor John P. Fisher and his team are pioneering new frontiers in areola tissue engineering, leveraging the BioAssemblyBot™ to design bioprinted constructs that may one day help restore the natural form lost during breast cancer surgery.

“Our team has been able to leverage the unique capabilities of the BioAssemblyBot™ platform to advance our research initiatives in areola tissue engineering. BAB has been an invaluable asset to our mission to improve the well-being of breast cancer patients and survivors.”— John P. Fisher, University of Maryland
