About
MY CAREER
My goal is to immerse myself in cutting-edge technologies that can address disease analysis, prompt treatment, and solve the lack of transplants. I aim to explore new techniques to produce more complex structures on a macro and micro scale and investigate new materials crucial for the success of these bioprinting processes, as well as the development of advanced platforms for understanding patient diseases.
