Mano DESCRIPTION:Due to airport strike this seminar is CANCELLED\nProf. Mano's t alk has been re-scheduled for 31 October 2024.\nSpring 2024 program\n\nPro f. João F. Mano\, University of Aveiro\, Portugal\nCompartmentalizing cel ls in 3D microenvironments to engineer human tissues\nHost: Chunlin Xu (ch unlin.xu@abo.fi)\n\nCoffee and sandwich at 11:45\, first come first served !\n\n \;\n\nSix PhD researchers and early-career postdocs are welcome to have a lunch in restaurant Mauno and discuss with Prof. Mano after the seminar. This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in friendly e nvironment and create connections for future. Everyone is welcome to join\ , BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got interested\, please se nd an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n \;\n\nJoão F. Mano is a vice-director at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials\, where he is d irecting the COMPASS Research Group\, founded in April 2016. His research focuses on the application of advanced biomaterials and cells to advance m ultidisciplinary concepts in the field of regenerative and personalized me dicine. Specifically\, he utilizes biomimetic and nano/micro-technology ap proaches to develop polymer-based biomaterials and surfaces for the creati on of biomedical devices with enhanced structural and multi-functional pro perties. He also engineers microenvironments to regulate cell behavior and organization\, with the goal of clinically applying these technologies in advanced therapies and drug screening\, or in the bioengineering of disea se models.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nR.C.
