Modular Hydrogels in Organoid-based Disease Modellin
Speaker: Prof. Eileen Gentleman
Eileen Gentleman is a Professor of Bioengineering in the Centre for Craniofacial and Regenerative Biology at King's College London and an Associate Professor of Bioengineering in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Lausanne. Her research focuses on developing biomaterials to modulate the physical and biological properties of the 3D cell niche, which she uses for organoid-based disease modelling and tissue engineering applications.
Biofabrication Approaches for Articular Cartilage Regeneration
Speaker: Prof. Jos Malda
Professor Jos Malda holds the Chair of Biofabrication in Translational Regenerative Medicine and Head of Research at the Department of Orthopaedics at Utrecht University. He also leads the Utrecht Biofabrication Facility, where he pioneers in the field of biofabrication and its application for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Professor Malda has published over 250 articles in peer-reviewed international journals and has attracted prestigious research funding, including funding from the NIH, the ERC and NWO. He is the Past President of the International Society for Biofabrication (ISBF; 2014-2018) and the current vice president of the International Cartilage Regeneration and joint preservation Society (ICRS). His pioneering work was recently acknowledged with the TERMIS-EU Mid Career Award (2021), the Berton Rahn Research Award (2021), the ISBF Senior Investigator Award (2021) and the Mimics Innovation Award (2022).
