L. Moroni
My research focuses on developing biofabrication technologies to generate libraries of 3D scaffolds able to control cell fate. This passes through the design of biomaterials, 3D scaffolds, and surface properties to better understand cell-material interactions.
Expertises
Biofabrication; bioprinting; additive manufacturing; electrospinning; scaffolds; tissue engineering; regenerative medicine
