We aim to champion initiatives that enhance awareness regarding the environmental impact of our research and the operations of the European Society for Biomaterials. Our goal is to minimise environmental damage while maintaining a commitment to high-quality research aimed at advancing human health, as opposed to just maintaining research at a high level.

A Colourful Cuddle
In this experiment, human mesenchymal stem cells (stained with phalloidin) and cell-adhesive microgels (stained with ATTO565 (red) and FITC (green)) self-assembled into a living microtissue. The properties of these cell-adhesive microgels are both physically and chemically tuneable. Moreover, the cell-adhesive microgels are able to direct the behaviour of the cells, for example by influencing cell fate by microgel stiffness.
Instrument used to produce the image: Zeiss LSM880

Biography
I am a highly skilled PhD student at RWTH Aachen, specializing in mechanobiological cell behavior under customized 3D bioreactor conditions. With a strong background in Biology and Bioengineering, I have expertise in 3D cell culture techniques and their applications in cancer research. I excel in biomaterial-based 3D cell model establishment, confocal microscopy, and biological analysis. I have also gained experience in an ISO/IEC 17025 certified calibration laboratory, conducting pre-clinical tests following ISO 10993 standards. Passionate about making a meaningful impact, I am dedicated to advancing 3D cell culture and cancer research to improve healthcare outcomes.
