Tissue engineering is an emerging multidisciplinary field that applies the principles of biology and engineering to the development of viable substitutes that restore, maintain or improve the function of human tissues. The goal of tissue engineering research is the day when bio-artificial organs are grown in a laboratory and subsequently transplanted into people, potentially providing a permanent and specific cure. Because of that I have developed an interest for the tissue engineering and neo-organs. My current research interest actually is focused on the new bone substitute biomaterials and their biocompatibility. Projects in progress are:

  1. Interfacial guided osteogenesis - IGOID
  2. Hybridized polymers as bioactive bone substitutes and GTR scaffolds
  3. Microspheres-based Tissue Engineering Product For Craniofacial Bone Reconstruction
Recently I have published a few articles on the role of implants in orthopedics and dentistry.
Furtheon, I hope and have a great ambition to devote my future plans for organization a Center of Excellence for biomaterials in Stomatology.
