Our research group aims to advance the knowledge and development of efficient health-related materials, products and technologies. We focus on the production and application of biomimetic, biological and living materials to improve human health, viz. in regenerative medicine, drug delivery and disease models, prognosis/diagnosis, and as sensors and therapeutics. Our group is committed to interdisciplinary research and collaborates with health-related companies and clinical partners. We follow a bench-to-bedside concept via R&D, with several established spin-offs to achieve this goal.

3D bioprinting construct for the diminishing of bone tumor and progression of bone tissue regeneration: Diagnosis of phenotyping in the cellular model and screening as a therapeutic platform (TissueEng)
European ComissionCoordinator
Bone tissue engineering offers a promising solution for restoring damaged bone tissue. However, current methods face limitations in creating disease models for identifying target genes in tumour recurrence, which hinders the development of preclinical strategies. In this context, the EU-funded TissueEng project aims to use 3D bioprinting to deve...A bioprinting platform for the rapid, reliable, controlled and quantifiable patterning of cellular aggregatesand microtissues into macroscale regenerative grafts with programmable architectures (m2M)
European ComissionPartner
A fundamental limitation with current approaches aiming to bioprint tissues and organs is an inability to generate constructs with truly biomimetic composition and structure, resulting in the development of engineered tissues that cannot execute their specific function in vivo. This is perhaps unsurprising, as many tissues and organs co...A ERA dos insectos (InsetcERA ( Investigação industrial e Estudos de viabilidade))
