**5. 3D bioprinting for developing in vitro tissue/organoid models for drug discovery**

The invention of 3D bioprinting has revolutionized biomedical research and significant development in translational research closing the gap from bench to bedside. In the pharmaceutical industry, the value of 3D bioprinting is expected in lowering the attrition rate of a new drug since 3D bioprinting has the potential to precisely position multiple cell types as needed according to the tissue of interest (**Figure 5**). Thus, 3D bioprinting enables a more robust design of drug screening, drug delivery, high-throughput drug testing, and ADME assays. The application of 3D bioprinting in the development of in vitro tissue or organoid models for drug discovery is discussed in this section.
