Melt Electrowriting of hierarchical structures for regeneration of hard-soft tissue interfaces

In this project, we are using biofabrication approach to construct complex and hierarchical structures with high precision. A novel melt-writing (MEW) technology with the support of computer modeling is used. MEW is a bio-printing technique that uses high voltage to deposit the molten polymer in the form of well-organized thin fibers with diameters of a […]

Additive manufacturing of a novel class of implants with heterogeneous structures, combining different biomaterials and printing methods

Project role PhD Researcher

Injuries and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system — sports-related tendon or ligament ruptures, damage to articular and osteochondral cartilage, and age-related osteoarthritis — are a common and pressing problem in all modern societies, and particularly in Europe given its ageing population. Because such injuries are painful and heal poorly, they frequently require surgical treatment. […]
