Visit from Szczecin, Poland

Besuch aus Polen

Dr. Agnieszka Piegat and Ms Agata Niemczyk (PhD student), researchers from the Polymer Institute of the West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland, (Head: Prof. Mirka El Fray) are visiting our Institute these days in the framework of our DAAD funded international project “New functionalised biodegradable elastomers for cardiac tissue engineering”. The project involves collaborative research and exchange of students and young researchers between the FAU Institute of Biomaterials and the Polish partner. The researchers are working on the development of electrospun biopolymer matrices for cardiac path applications following our previous investigations [1]. In the picture also Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini and Dr. Liliana Liverani. (Click image to enlarge)
