Welcome to the European Society for Biomaterials

A year-long 'virtual environment' where scientists, clinicians, industrials and regulatory affairs experts can network.


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
Cristina Casadidio is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Pharmacy, Drug Delivery Division, University of Camerino (IT). She currently enjoys project entitled Biomaterials-Assisted Gene Therapy for Ovarian Cancer Treatment”.

Expertise
Her research activity is manly focused on the synthesis of multiple biopolymeric systems intended for local and controlled delivery of biotherapeutics. One of the main objectives of her work is to enhance the in vitro and in vivo stability of protein, peptides and nucleic acids (pDNA, siRNA and mRNA) exploiting different polymer chemistry and delivery systems. Infections treatment, cancer therapy and tissue regeneration represent the main pharmaceutical and medical applications of interest.
