CICECO showcase broad bioengineering and regenerative medicine advances at TERMIS

Researchers from CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, Universidade de Aveiro, marked a significant presence at TERMIS-EU 2026, held from 21 to 24 April in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where they presented advances spanning bioengineering, 3D tumour modelling, biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Bringing together leading experts from across Europe, the conference provided an international platform for CICECO-affiliated to COMPASS Research Group including Cellularis and Metatissue to share scientific progress and strengthen collaborations.CICECO’s delegation included invited speakers and researchers João F. Mano, João Borges, Mariana Oliveira and Vítor Gaspar, alongside João Rodrigues, João Mazeda, Maria Clara Gomes, Andreia Malafaia, Andreia Cerqueira, Sara Silvério, Mariana Carreira, Rita Moreira, Catarina Custódio, Maria Luiz, Marieta Alexaki, Diana Jesus, Maria Monteiro, Margarida Pereira and Syeda M. Bakht.

Across oral presentations and invited lectures, the teams showcased work on advanced 3D tumour models, human-derived extracellular matrix biomaterials, capsule-based bioinks, liquid-core microcapsules, xeno-free biomaterials, AI-assisted biomaterial fabrication and next-generation therapeutic systems.

This broad scientific participation reflected the diversity of research being developed at CICECO and University of Aveiro at the intersection of materials science, biotechnology and clinical translation. From innovative human biomaterials and bioprinting technologies to immune-engineered living materials and bone-on-a-chip systems, the contributions demonstrated how CICECO is helping accelerate the bridge between laboratory innovation and biomedical application.

Beyond the scientific sessions, TERMIS-EU 2026 reinforced international partnerships, fostered new opportunities for collaboration and strengthened CICECO’s position within the global tissue engineering and regenerative medicine community.
