Meet our team of leading bio-engineers, technology innovators and surgical practitioners.

Who We Are

OrganLike are a team of leading bio-engineers, technology innovators and surgical practitioners. We have worked with each other on previous projects and have known each over for at least four years.

OrganLike was formed in July 2017, after several years of development by Isaac Wang, supported by Will Shu. In 2018, and very soon, we shall be adding new staff to the OrganLike team – we look forward to welcoming them onboard and adding them to this site.

PRECISION. PIONEERING. 3D ORGAN PRINTING.
