Learning objectives

- Processing and characterization of bioscaffolds for regenerative medicine
- Development of biological and bio-inspired composite materials for bone and tooth regeneration
- Biological responds of line cells for controlling cellular functions by scaffolds
- Micro- and nanoscale technologies to enable 3D bioprinting of stem cells.
- Biomimetic approaches to polymer-based fibers surfaces in order to develop biomedical devices with improved structural and multifunctional properties and in the engineering of microenvironments to control cell behavior.
