We aim to champion initiatives that enhance awareness regarding the environmental impact of our research and the operations of the European Society for Biomaterials. Our goal is to minimise environmental damage while maintaining a commitment to high-quality research aimed at advancing human health, as opposed to just maintaining research at a high level.

Matrix Marvel: Stem Cells Thriving on Bone-Mimicking Scaffolds
Short description of image: In our studies, I am searching for a synthetic scaffold suitable for the use as a bone-like environment in 3D models of skeletal diseases in vitro. This scanning electron microscopy image shows extracellular matrix (pink) produced by primary mesenchymal stem cells seeded on the 3D-printed tricalcium phosphate scaffold (its granules are in blue). * The fact that the cells produced abundant amounts of matrix and integrated in the scaffold’s microstructure indicates that the tricalcium phosphate scaffold is cytocompatible and can potentially play role of a bone-like environment - at least, from the point of observations in vitro.
Instrument used to produce the image: Scanning Electron Microscope JSM-IT500 by Leica.

Expertise
Our research focuses on the development and application of novel functional biomaterials for treatment and diagnosing various diseases, based on an understanding of cell/blood-material interactions. We continuously challenge ourselves to find better and more robust solutions to solve current biomedical issues through use of smart polymeric biomaterials. In order to achieve our goals, we utilize a multidisciplinary approach by integrating expertise from engineering to medicine to develop state-of-the-art biomaterials. Finally, we strive to transfer our technologies to industries for final clinical development. Our research interests range from targeted drug delivery, biomimetic surface modification, tissue engineering to regenerative medicine. In these research areas, we are working on diverse projects in collaborating with many universities, research institutes and companies to improve therapeutic potentials of our materials.
