Welcome to BIOMEND LAB

BIOmaterials for Modelling, Engineering and Novel Discovery

We "mend" the human body with biomaterials, from building advanced biomaterial-based tissue models, to developing novel therapies for complex diseases, and uncovering new frontiers in biomaterial-cell interactions to modulate pathology evolution and ageing at molecular and genetic levels.

What We Do

B

Bioadhesives

Understanding how biomaterials interact with cells and tissues at a biological level to cure disease or prevent aging.

N

Nanotechnology for Cancer

Developing targeted nanotechnology therapies for metastatic cancers, including ovarian cancer.

R

Cartilage Regeneration

Creating smart biomaterials to promote cartilage regeneration and treat osteoarthritis.

W

Chronic Skin Wounds

Developing advanced nanotechnology-based therapies for diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wound healing.

3D

Bioprinted Skin Models

Building human-relevant 3D skin models to study fibrosis, ageing, and chronic skin pathologies.
