Biography

Dr. Elisabeth Engel, associate professor since 2010, got her Ph.D in 2003, in bone metabolism diseases in medical School. She was awarded with a postdoc fellow from the Ministry of Science at the Technical University of Catalonia in Biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration and she is associate professor since 2010 at this University. She was appointed as PI at the Group of Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies since the September of 2012 at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia. Her research interests include the preparation and design of materials and scaffolds for in vitro and in vivo fundamental studies, and a further focus is the provision of useful tools to assess mechanisms that govern cell behavior in regenerative medicine. She has published more than 85 papers in JRC journals and many invited lectures and got an award for technological research (Barcelona City Award). Her group conducts several transference and translational projects with pharma and biomedical device industry and participates actively in European projects.
