The Faculty of Biotechnology (ESB) of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the CBQF – Centre for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry hosted, on January 15, Prof. Lorenzo Moroni, Director of the MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine, for an interactive session on the latest advances in biofabrication applied to regenerative medicine.
The event, held at the Corticeira Amorim Auditorium, attracted a diverse audience of researchers, students, and professionals interested in the field of tissue and organ regeneration. During the interactive session, titled “Biofabrication Technologies to Instruct Regeneration,” Prof. Moroni shared technological innovations that promise to bring regenerative science closer to clinical practice. He highlighted the development of personalized biomaterials and 3D scaffolds capable of modulating cellular activity and promoting the integration of regenerated tissues into the human body.
According to Prof. Lorenzo Moroni, “In the coming decades, biofabrication will transform our ability to produce functional tissues for personalized therapies.”
The session also included a debate, where participants had the opportunity to interact with the speaker and explore the implications of the new technologies presented. Prof. Ana Leite Oliveira, a CBQF researcher and event moderator, emphasized the significance of the session: “This was a unique opportunity to discuss advances in biofabrication and reflect on their applications in regenerative medicine. The vision and expertise of Prof. Moroni are an inspiration to everyone working in this field.”
The interactive session marked an important moment in the scientific agenda of the ESB and CBQF, reinforcing their commitment to fostering opportunities for knowledge exchange with international leaders. This contributes to the development of professionals and researchers equipped to address challenges in biotechnology and health.
