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.

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

I am Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano – Dept. of Chemistry, Material and Chemical Engineering “G. Natta” (Italy). I graduated in Chemical Engineering and, in January 2018, I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. I spent almost four years as Assistant Professor in Applied Physical Chemistry at University Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, working on the design of smart multi-functional polymeric scaffolds (hydrogels and nanoparticles) for controlled drug delivery in tumors (renal and ovarian cancer) and metabolic disorders (NAFLD) and for cell targeting. I developed the fundamental skills in cell culture, microscopy, flow cytometry and cell staining. I also spent visiting research periods at ETH Zurich (Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory) and University of Cambridge (Department of Neuroscience). For my research activities I have been awarded with the following awards: European Doctorate Award by European Society of Biomaterials (ESB), Trainee Travel Award/Italian Young Scientists by Italian Society for Biomaterial (SIB) at the 10th World Biomaterials Congress in Montréal (Canada), and Nanoinnovation’s Got Talent at NanoInnovation 2019 in Rome (Italy).

Expertise

My main research fields are related to the chemical functionalization of polymers and the design of three-dimensional smart polymeric systems as highly biocompatible tools for controlled drug, gene and cell delivery, in nanomedicine and tissue engineering. Special focuses are: i) drug targeting in inflamed/injured cells of tumoral scenarios, through the synthesis of nanoparticles and nanogels; ii) continuous in-flow production of nanoparticles through microfluidic devices, to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional batch syntheses, and iii) formulation and 3D printing of bioinks (hydrogels)
