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.

Partnership between ESB and iMPSS in 2025

Partnership between ESB and iMPSS in 2025

06-06-2025

The European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) is pleased to announce a new partnership with the International Microphysiological Systems Society (iMPSS) in 2025.

As part of this collaboration, the ESB will be the guest society at the MPS World Summit 2025 (Brussels, Belgium, 9–13 June 2025), and, in return, iMPSS will be the guest society at the ESB 2025 Congress (Turin, Italy, 7–11 September 2025).

A key joint initiative will be the reciprocal sponsorship of four presentation awards:
– Four awards for outstanding presentations on biomaterials at the MPS World Summit
– Four awards for outstanding presentations on microphysiological systems and in vitro models at ESB 2025

The ESB looks forward to welcoming the MPS community to ESB 2025 and to contributing to the vibrant program of the MPS World Summit 2025!
