Torben successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Optimising Contrast-Enhanced Micro-CT Techniques for Comprehensive Visualisation of Dental Structures”, the first one this autumn semester. The Department extends its warmest congratulations.
We are thrilled that our team has been awarded a HALRIC pilot project focusing on state-of-the-art X-ray imaging methods for dental and orthopaedic applications. By combining contrast-enhanced micro-CT with advanced synchrotron techniques—such as phase-contrast imaging and X-ray fluorescence mapping—we aim to refine imaging protocols for hard-to-visualize cellular structures in bones, teeth and associated soft tissues.
Athina and Håvard participated in the successful Consortium Meeting for the H2020 project BIOMATDB in Vienna. The meeting brought together key partners to review progress, address challenges, and plan future strategies. A major highlight was the successful internal testing of the biomaterials database and marketplace, marking a significant step forward in the project. We are optimistic about the database for the biomaterial community.
The Department is thrilled to announce the EXCITE 2.0 Network project kick-off. Marking a significant milestone in scientific research, this initiative sets a new standard for interdisciplinary collaboration across Europe, leveraging the continent's leading electron and X-ray imaging facilities.
In a remarkable display of international collaboration, researchers from our Department and the University of Twente have made a significant breakthrough in the field of tissue engineering. The high-impact journal, Advanced Materials, recently published their pioneering study, showcasing an innovative approach to engineering living tissues with integrated capillary networks.
We recently attended the EXCITE consortium meeting in the historical city of Granada, Spain. This event brought together experts from Europe, all connected by a common thread – the electron and X-ray imaging infrastructure and its application in materials research.
In a new opinion paper, researchers from the Department and consortium members of the EU-funded BIOMATDB project have delved into the complex world of biocompatibility, shedding light on the challenges and proposing a comprehensive new definition that could revolutionise the field. This research, recently published in 'Trends in Biotechnology', is poised to advance biomaterials science and its applications in medicine and dentistry.
