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.

A Colourful Cuddle
In this experiment, human mesenchymal stem cells (stained with phalloidin) and cell-adhesive microgels (stained with ATTO565 (red) and FITC (green)) self-assembled into a living microtissue. The properties of these cell-adhesive microgels are both physically and chemically tuneable. Moreover, the cell-adhesive microgels are able to direct the behaviour of the cells, for example by influencing cell fate by microgel stiffness.
Instrument used to produce the image: Zeiss LSM880

Expertise
My immersion in biomaterials and biomedical engineering has equipped me with a versatile skill set. I have acquired proficiency in a range of advanced physicochemical techniques, encompassing the fabrication of diverse nanoparticles and scaffolds. My expertise extends to the utilization of sophisticated characterization tools such as TEM, SEM, DLS, FTIR, HPLC, and UV-VIS. Proficient in vitro analysis, my expertise extends to cell culture techniques, various cell viability assays, and molecular techniques such as PCR, western blot, immunohistochemical analyses and ELISA. My enthusiasm extends to gaining further experience in cutting-edge areas such as organ-on-a-chip and nanobiotechnology. During my Ph.D., I pioneered a third-generation photosensitizer, leveraging my expertise in nanoparticle fabrication and photodynamic therapy. Employing mathematical modeling, I meticulously optimized nanoparticle formulation. Subsequent validation, biocompatibility assessments, and in-depth in vitro tests on PDT efficiency and cell death types culminated in ex vivo purging for ovarian fragments. A transformative internship in "Laboratory Animal Medicine and Sciences" facilitated nuanced analyses, including in vivo tests through xenografting treated tissue fragments into SCID mice, unveiling the treatment's impact on ovarian follicles. With each research year, my passion for nanobiotechnology and tissue engineering burgeons, propelling me to continually deepen my understanding and contribute meaningfully to these dynamic fields.
