In the field of tissue engineering, 3D printing has received increasing attention due to its ability to create high-resolution, patient-specific implants. These implants are essential for achieving a perfect fit to the existing defect and guaranteeing the best possible aesthetic result. Over the last decade, the application of light-mediated 3D printing techniques, such as digital light p…
This project has as its general goal the development of scaffolds for cellular growth from novel polymer systems, aiming at applications in biomedical engineering, especially in the area of regenerative medicine. We propose the combination of the efforts of specialists from various areas toward a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, in the solution of problems involving the control of s…

This project involves a research internship at the Biomaterials & Biomedical Technology group of the University Medical Center Groningen (BBT-UMCG) through the BEPE/FAPESP PhD Program for 12 months. The objective of this work is to study the 3D extrusion printing of photopolymerizable and biocompatible resins based on chondroitin sulfate.Pre-printing tests are necessary to improve the bio…
This work aims to study the 3D printing of biocompatible panthenol-based resins with different light-based techniques, such as Digital Light Processing (DLP), Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) and Computed Axial Lithography (CAL, also referred to as Volumetric 3D Printing). The scaffolds printed using these light-based modalities will be compared and explored concerning their morphological,…
The recent demonstration of the production of signaling factor reservoirs formed by the self-assembly LbL (layer-by-layer) of polyelectrolyte multilayers has opened new possibilities in tissue engineering. This project is aimed at the assessment of charge distribution of loaded proteins on LbL reservoirs, built on to biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymeric membranes. Electrospun 3D scaf…
In the past few years, mechanoresposive materials emerged as an important class of biomaterials, which mimics biological features, for example, response to cell adhesion. Among these materials, there are biocompatible soft hydrogels, with weak forces sensing and tunable design based in polymers, growing as interest field. Because of the great level of control over supramolecular structura…
