Doctoral thesis success: Mahshid Monavari
Congratulations to Mahshid Monavari for successfully defending her doctoral thesis titled “3D Printing of Alginate-Dialdehyde-Gelatine (ADA-GEL) Composites Incorporating with Therapeutic Agents and Bioactive Glass for Sustained Drug Delivery in Regenerative Medicine” on 26th March 2025. She carried out her doctoral project in our Institute, supervised by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini. The oral defense was held online. The members of the committee where Prof. Luca Ghiringhelli (Department of Mater. Sci. and Engineering, FAU), Prof. Sahar Salehi-Müller (Univ. of Bayreuth), Prof. Danijela Gregurec (FAU) and Prof. Boccaccini. Prof. Boccaccini highlighted the interesting results obtained by Mahshid developing hydrogel composites incorporating mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles and biomolecules with bone regeneration and wound healing as target applications. The three papers that resulted from this thesis have been published [1-3]. Many congratulations to Mahshid for the successful defense of her doctoral thesis, we wish her all the best in her future career.
