TOPbiomat project celebrates second year
The Emerging Fields project TOPbiomat coordinated by Prof. A. R. Boccaccini celebrated its second year of successful collaboration with the end-of-year meeting on 16th December 2013. A total of 25 researchers are now working in the framework of this Emerging Fields Initiative funded project including academics, post-docs, PhD students, technical assistants, as well as Master and Bachelor Students. The collaboration between researchers of the Faculties of Engineering, Medicine and Natural Sciences is leading to the generation of knowledge and expertise on the design of cell-based tissue structures (bioprocessing strategies) for the development of advanced scaffolds for regeneration of complex organs with current focus on vascularised bone.
