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
Pekka Vallittu has earned his degrees in Dental Technology in 1988, Doctor of Dental Surgery and Doctor of Philosophy in 1994, received Adjunct Professorship in 1995 and specialized in prosthodontics and stomatognathic physiology in 2000. Presently, he is a Full Professorship and Chair of Biomaterials Science in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Turku, Finland and works as Dean of the Institute of Dentistry at the University of Turku and as the Director of Turku Clinical Biomaterials Centre. He worked in NIOM as guest researcher in 1995-1996. He is Member of the Board of the university of Turku and Editorial Board Member of several international journals. His predominating research activity on fiber-reinforced composites has lasted over 30 years since 1980´s. The first clinical applications of fiber-reinforced composites were found in clinical dentistry and thereafter in combination with bioactive glass components and surface coatings in bone surgical applications as non-metallic bioactive implants. Pekka Vallittu has over 720 ISI Web of Science Indexed publications. He has established three companies (Stick Tech Ltd – GC Group, Skulle Implants Corp. and RAYO Biotechnologies Ltd) for getting newly developed composite materials for clinical use.
