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'm a PhD student in Medical Engineering at Chonnam National University, South Korea. My background is veterinary medicine, I graduated from the University of Tehran (ranked first in Iran) as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. During my undergraduate course, I followed Medical engineering-related topics and focused on tissue engineering. For my undergraduate thesis, I worked on tendon tissue engineering and also engaged in bone, cartilage and nerve tissue engineering. I decided to focus on this area and pursue a graduate degree in tissue engineering.

Expertise
I'm an expert in tenocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and adipose tissue stem cell isolation. As a DVM I performed in vivo studies and animal-related tests. Two pole Electrospinning is my area of interest in making scaffolds, specifically parallel PCL fibers.
