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.

Application Scientific Image Competition

First and Last Name: Mohammad Suhaan Dar
Student / PhD / Postdoc: PhD Institute: Vellore Institute of Technology(VIT) Department: Centre for nanotechnology Research Group leader: Dr.Niroj Kumar Sahu Nano - Galaxy: GQDs and Iron Oxide in Tumor Scaffold This confocal - style composite image captures the hybrid integration of fluorescent graphene quantum dots(GQDs, green) and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(Fe₃O₄, red) within a biomimetic hydrogel scaffold.Designed for a 3D in vitro tumor model, the structure mimics the extracellular matrix while enabling photothermal therapy and magnetic guidance.The distribution highlights nanoparticle retention and spatial arrangement within the porous hydrogel, emphasizing its potential for localized cancer treatment and real - time imaging.The artificial coloring enhances the visual appeal without altering the original signal. Note: Image represents preliminary findings.Data not published. Instrument used to produce the image: Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope(CLSM)

Biography

My credo — Simplify and Integrate. Began as a Research Assistant, achieving breakthroughs in gene-activated bone grafts and 3D bioprinted tumor models. Transitioned to a Biotechnology Project Manager role with a focus on workforce development, guiding innovative STEM projects. Mentored students in developing 'SkinSaver,' a skin regeneration solution with real-world applications, and using decellularized spinach leaves for biofabrication. Crafted lab designs based on the "Pedagogy-Space-Technology" framework for K-12 and vocational training.

Expertise

Curriculum Development: Designed modern biotechnological curriculum for PYP and MYP students, incorporating Complexity Sciences, DST, and Constructivism for cell and gene therapy education; Facility Coordination: Coordinated construction of a biotechnological facility for workforce development, managing project plans, timelines, and liaising with professionals to meet industry standards; Portfolio Contest Jury: Evaluated 8 project portfolios at “Alabuga Biotech 2023” contest, mentoring participants to develop three scalable products and resulting in one team receiving a $15,000 entry grant; Student Project Mentorship: Mentored students on projects like 'SkinSaver' and decellularized spinach leaves for biofabrication, ensuring projects were completed on time and within budget; Biomedical Summer Camp: Created and led a Biomedical Engineering summer camp focusing on bioprinting and microfluidics technology; Intern Development: Implemented a performance improvement plan (PIP) for an underperforming intern, elevating him from Wood/Bronze League to Gold League and achieving 100% on IB certification. I leveraged the double-cassette VEGF165-BMP2 DNA plasmid. I assessed the plasmid’s potential to form blood vessels and bone in cell cultures, measured by alkaline phosphatase activity in transfected rat MSCs (30% increase). The propensity to form vessel-like structures doubled. The plasmid activity was also confirmed with ELISA, qPCR, and RT-PCR; I developed a gene-activated collagen-hydroxyapatite bone graft with the plasmid encoding VEGF-A and BMP2. The
