Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering

Integrating the advances of the 4th Industrial Revolution, I combine my clinical practice with my research focus on areas like 3D printing and advanced materials for virtual surgical planning to customize surgical guides and fixation with permanent and resorbable implants.
