Laboratory of BioMatter at the faculty of Engineering, the Free University of Brussels aims to identify potential international candidates interested in the field of biomaterials engineering:
Candidates with the required profile will work with us to submit a full application to the Marie-Sklodowska Curie European Fellowship and Chargé de recherches – CR.
The focus is on design and development of 3D model for tissue engineering including engineering extracellular matrix to model tumour microenvironment and engineered multifunctional living biomaterials
The broader potential research themes are:
Engineered living materials for tissue engineering applications:
- Hydrogels including enzymatic crosslinking for TE applications
- Engineered living 3D models (e.g. based on bacterial cellulose) for TE applications
Biomaterial synthesis and characterisation:
- Polymeric/Biopolymeric biomaterials
- Composites and nanocomposites
- Stimuli-responsive biomaterials (e.g. oxygen releasing materials)
Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing:
- Biomaterials for extrusion printing
- 3D bioprinting/biofabrication
- Melt Electro Writing (MEW)
Biomaterials for specific medical applications:
- Skin and mucosa
- Wound healing and tissue adhesives
