Our laboratory had a fruitful week in Daegu, Republic of Korea, the last week of spring: we travelled to participate in the 12th World Biomaterials Congress!
On May 27th, the first day of the Congress, Ksenia Menshikh delivered a talk titled “Comparative analysis of 3D-printed β-TCP and freeze-dried alginate-bioactive glass scaffolds as bone-like microenvironments for osteosarcoma in vitro modelling.” She discussed part of her PhD research, which focuses on biomaterials for tumor engineering.
May 29th was a particularly busy day for us. Our postdoctoral researcher, Elham Sharifikolouei, chaired a session on “Inorganic Materials for Therapeutic Agents” and gave the opening talk. Professor Lia Rimondini, in collaboration with Professor Dagnija Loca from Riga Technical University, organized a session on “Precision Medicine in Biomaterials for Regeneration.” During this session, Professor Andrea Cochis shared the latest breakthroughs from the INNOVATION Lab’s research.
It was indeed a fruitful time for our laboratory, full of networking, exchanging plans and ideas, and, of course, enjoying Korea!
