Visit from England
Dr Tahera Ansari, senior scientists at the Dept. Surgical Research, Northwick Park Institute for Medical Research (NPIMR), Harrow, UK visited our Institute on 20-21 January 2014. We have collaborated with Tahera’s group for several years in the field of scaffolds for tissue engineering. Recent results on bioactive scaffolds for bone regeneration have been published [1]. New developments involve the investigation of decellularised scaffolds for soft tissue regeneration. (Click image to enlarge)
