The LOEWE Research Cluster FLOW FOR LIFE will host a Minisymposium “Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering” at the Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberghaus with Humboldt Research Award winner Milica Radisic from the University of Toronto on Wednesday, July 3rd 2024, from 13:30. Other speakers include Wolfram Zimmermann from the University of Göttingen, Katharina Landfester from the MPI for Polymer Research Mainz and Aranzazu del Campo from the University of Saarbrücken.
Professor Milica Radisic Professor at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at the Toronto General Research Institute, has been honoured with a Humboldt Research Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. She was nominated for the award by Professor Ulrike Nuber from the Department of Biology at TU Darmstadt. As part of the award, Professor Radisic will be working with colleagues on the development of vascularised tissue models at the LOEWE research cluster ‘FLOW FOR LIFE’ in Darmstadt from next year.
Milica Radisic is an international leader in the field of cardiac tissue engineering and organ-on-a-chip technology. She uses isolated heart cells in combination with biomaterial scaffolds and bioreactors to obtain functional heart tissue for disease modelling, drug development and regenerative medicine.
