From brain organoids to models of eye cancer, Tiziana Milanini brings experience in 3D cell culture and a curiosity about how biology works. As a new PhD researcher in SpotMEL, she will investigate how tumour cells interact with healthy eye cells — and help develop new tools for studying uveal melanoma.
Angela De Lauretis has successfully defended her PhD thesis in at the University of Oslo. Her research explores new mechanical and chemical strategies to remove salivary proteins from titanium dental implant surfaces, aiming to improve implant decontamination while preserving biological function.
Researchers from the Department of Biomaterials participated in the 2026 Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials meeting at Gullmarsstrand, Sweden. Under the theme “From Discovery to Device”, Qianli Ma gave an oral presentation on sustainable scaffold materials for bone repair, while the rest of the UiO delegation presented posters covering implant decontamination, oral inflammation models, hydrogels, antibacterial bone substitutes, biomolecular stabilization, and advanced imaging.
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 pleased to announce that Lúcia F. Santos, a former Erasmus exchange student from the University of Aveiro who worked at our BIOMAT lab for four months, has successfully concluded her studies. While here, Lúcia made extensive use of our cutting-edge nanoCT imaging and associated advanced staining methodologies, producing vital data for her research.
Congratulations to Badra Hussain on successfully defending her PhD thesis: “Managing peri-implant and periodontal surface-bacterial infections through different biomaterials strategies.” A remarkable achievement from lab to clinic — well done, Badra!
What a fantastic milestone for the Department of Biomaterials—Arooj recently defended her PhD thesis. Her research represents a notable advancement in understanding how osteoblasts develop into osteocytes under scaffold-free, three-dimensional conditions.
Angela attended the 54th AADOCR International Dental Conference, which showcased cutting-edge dental research and innovations.
We participated in an engaging seminar on biomaterial-associated infections, which attracted a large audience of students and faculty members. The event featured international peri-implantitis experts Mariano Sanz, Lisa Heitz-Mayfield, and Mario Romandini, who presented their extensive research on this critical topic in modern dentistry. The seminar comprehensively explored peri-implant diseases, from definitions and diagnostics to cutting-edge interventions. Our PhD students presented our latest research in this field.
The Department proudly shares the recent accomplishments of our PhD student, Torben Hildebrand, who won a Poster Award at last week's SPIE Optics + Photonics 2024 conference in San Diego. This conference is a leading platform for the global optics and photonics community to collaborate, share groundbreaking research, and engage in insightful discussions.
Minh has successfully defended his thesis, "The dynamics of bone augmentation with a TiO2 graft material: Studies in challenging pre-clinical models" Minh's thesis, meticulously researched and presented, delves into the complexities of bone graft materials, offering groundbreaking insights that pave the way for future innovations in dental and orthopaedic treatments.
Arooj, Enrique and Agnieszka participated last week in the 7th annual Centre Digital Life Norway conference in Bergen
