Doctoral thesis success: Akrity Anand
We congratulate Akrity Anand for successfully defending her doctoral thesis titled “Copper-strontium/magnesium co-doped mesoporous bioactive glass for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications” on 28th November 2024. She carried out her doctoral project under the co-tutelle agreement between our Institute (supervised by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini) and the Centre for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass (FunGlass), University of Trencin, Slovakia (supervised by Prof. Dagmar Galuskova). The oral defense was held in Trencin. Prof. Boccaccini highlighted the interesting results obtained by Akrity developing mesoporous bioactive glasses with multiple biologically active ion release capability (Cu, Sr, Mg) for tissue engineering and drug delivery. Several papers have been published from Akrity’s project (for example [1] – Open Access). Many congratulations to Akrity for the successful defense of her doctoral thesis, we wish her all the best in her future career.
