Mano DESCRIPTION:October 31st at 12:00\nOn-site event\nin Presidentti auditorium \, BioCity\nAutumn 2024 Seminars\n\nProf. João F. Mano\, University of Av eiro\, Portugal\nCompartmentalizing cells in 3D microenvironments to engin eer human tissues\nHost: Chunlin Xu (chunlin.xu@abo.fi)\n\nCoffee and sand wich at 11:45\, first come first served!\n\n \;\n\nSix PhD researchers and early-career postdocs are welcome to have a lunch and discuss with Pr of. Mano after the seminar. This is a great possibility to learn hosting s kills in friendly environment and create connections for future. Everyone is welcome to join\, BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got int erested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n \;\n\ nJoão F. Mano is a vice-director at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materi als\, where he is directing the COMPASS Research Group\, founded in April 2016. His research focuses on the application of advanced biomaterials and cells to advance multidisciplinary concepts in the field of regenerative and personalized medicine. Specifically\, he utilizes biomimetic and nano/ micro-technology approaches to develop polymer-based biomaterials and surf aces for the creation of biomedical devices with enhanced structural and m ulti-functional properties. He also engineers microenvironments to regulat e cell behavior and organization\, with the goal of clinically applying th ese technologies in advanced therapies and drug screening\, or in the bioe ngineering of disease models.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nR.C.
