Abstract

The aim of this proposal is the funding of exchange of researchers that will establish the collaboration between the research groups of Prof. Fernandes in Portugal and Prof. Fernanda Basso in Brazil. Specifically, such a grant will enable researchers in São Paulo to visit the University of Porto as also from this University to Brazil. Overall, this project aims to unable the partnership between Prof. Basso and Prof. Fernandes on the development and optimization of a 3D bone cells model using a commercial scaffold to enable the bone biology and pathology research.
