On 10-14 September, Prof. Boccaccini attended the European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes (EUROMAT 2013) held in Sevilla, Spain, where he co-organised the symposium: “Bioinspired and Functional Materials for Tissue Engineering” together with Prof. J. Mano (Univ. of Minho, Portugal) and Prof. J. Groll (Univ. of Wuerzburg, Germany). Prof. Boccaccini presented the “highlight lecture” entitled: “Evaluation of cross-linked alginate-gelatine matrices for biofabrication”, presenting recent results of our Emerging Fields Initiative project TOPbiomat. Prof. Boccaccini also presented the lecture: “Poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), a potential material for cardiac tissue engineering” based on a collaboration with the group of Dr. Ipsita Roy (University of Westminster, UK).
