Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini was a visiting professor at University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (Universität für Bodenkultur – BOKU), Vienna, Austria, hosted by Professor Cornelia Kasper, Department for Biotechnology, BOKU. In the week 27th-31st May 2019, Prof. Boccaccini delivered the course: “Biomedical Materials: Synthesis, Functionalization and Applications”. He visited the laboratories in Prof. Kasper’s group and discussed future research collaborations on the application of bioactive materials developed at the FAU Institute of Biomaterials in the framework of the cell culture technologies established in the group of Prof. Kasper. Our previous collaboration led to a paper published in JBMR-A “Osteogenic differentiation of umbilical cord and adipose derived stem cells onto highly porous 45S5 Bioglass®-based scaffolds”[1].
