Last week, our lab was representated in Hong Kong at the exciting 2026 Nature Conference on Translational Biomaterials: https://natureconferences.streamgo.live/translational-biomaterials It was an impressive four days showcasing cutting-edge scientific advances in biomaterials for controlled drug release, immunotherapy, wound healing, human–machine interfaces, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and bioprinting. Many thanks to Chuanbin Mao, The Chinese University of Ho

Huge congratulations Davide Ribezzi for the completing and defending an outstanding PhD thesis on "Biofabrication for Diabetes" ! For the exceptional work spanning research, innovation and entrepreneurship, Davide has received the doctorate Cum Laude! In the past 4 years, Davide has been a pillar and a source of inspiration for everyone in the lab. His passion and creativity have been contagious, and helped making possible several highly challenging projects that were running

I am deeply humbled and honored for receiving support from the @European Research Council Consolidator Grant, to further our research on #bioprinting. Let’s turn on the spotlight on stem cells, pancreatic islets and their specialized blood vessels! Lab-made biological tissues have potential as tools for biomedical research, and finally as grafts for regenerative medicine. However, to meet this promise, our society needs better ways to understand human biology, and therefore t

On November 13th, 2025, Marc successfully defended his thesis! Congrats Dr. Falandt for this fantastic milestone! It has been a great pleasure to do science together with Marc in the past 4 years. He brought new, bold ideas to the lab, and complemented our team with his expertise in polymer chemistry, helping the group to introduce new materials in our workflow, including hydrogels with surprising properties, that are now being further investigated in follow-up projects. His
