Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
Welcome to the seminar series on the topic of Biomedical Engineering!
This seminar series is brought to you by the Division of Biomedical Engineering, Dept. Materials Science and Engineering and MedTech Science & Innovation Centre, with the aim of bringing together people at UU and beyond with an interest in biomedical engineering and to share news on the research that is going on across the university in this area.
The seminars will run during lunch time on the second Thursday of every month during term time and all are welcome to attend, in physical or digital format. A lunch sandwich will be served for those that attend in person. You can find more information about the individual seminars below.

Organising Committee
Maria Tenje
I lead the research group EMBLA - Enabling Microtechnologies for Biomedical and Life science Applications. The main goal of the lab is to develop microsystems for applications within the life sciences with a special interest on research related to micro/nano fabrication and processing of new materials.
Natalia Ferraz
I lead the NanoBiomaterials group at the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials. Research activities in the NanoBiomaterials group are related with the development of nanostructured materials for biomedical applications. We focus on the use of application-oriented biocompatibility studies to evaluate the impact of nanomaterial design/modification/functionalization on the bioactivity of the material and the response of biological systems.

Ken Welch
I am a professor at the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials and my research interests include microsensors and applications of nanomaterials within life sciences, specifically antibacterial coatings for implant surfaces and 3D-printed pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Mahsa Jamadi
As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Macromolecular Division within the Department of Chemistry, I specialize in the development of injectable shear-thinning hydrogels tailored for minimally invasive therapies and bioprinting applications. My research focuses on the design of composite hydrogels endowed with anti-inflammatory properties, aimed at addressing critical challenges in bone regeneration and wound healing.
