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.

Biography
My PhD degree was awarded on February 18, 2016 in Medical Science in the field of designing biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine at SoonChunHyang University (SCHU), South Korea; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in our lab institute for one year. My PhD dissertation, "Design and Characterization of Composite Polymers, Electrospun Mats, and Injectable Hydrogel's for Purpose of Soft and Hard Tissue Engineering" discuss the preparation, characterization, and modification of composite materials for tissue engineering and drug delivery purposes. After that, I joined as a postdoctoral researcher in the Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Polymers Science and Technology at Shenzhen University (SZU), China, for developing my knowledge in polymer and materials field for biomedical applications for two years. Then, I joined as a Specialist in the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Polish Academy of Science (IPC-PAS), Poland, worked on fabrication of microfluidic devices (including PDMS and polycarbonate chips) to create an artificial pancreatic islet for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Currently, I am working as a senior visiting Scientist (Leading researcher) in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Riga Stradins University (RSU) and working under two project including HORIZON 2020 project "Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence, BBCE (No. 857287)" and national project "ModelDrug No. FLPP-0078". I have also opportunity to visit AO research institute (ARI), Switzerland, and work there for five months to develop a novel silk fibroin methacrylate-based hydrogel for 3D printing

Expertise
My research is focused on the development of biomaterials, bioinks, and drug delivery systems for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Since starting my Ph.D., I have worked on several projects, including the development of a novel injectable hydrogel, cement, and electrospun matrix for various applications in bone, muscle, and vascular tissue engineering. I also have experience designing novel bonks based on silk fibrin, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, and chitosan for 3D printing and microfluidics.
