Qianli Ma’s presentation delved into the innovative use of eggshell-derived amorphous calcium phosphate as a bone graft material in the EEA-Norway grant research project EGGSHELL. The research showcased a novel 3D osteoblastic spheroidic model, offering new insights into material synthesis, characterization, and its potential bio-functions in regenerative medicine.
Håvard also contributed to the congress with a poster on a study focused on dental implants, examining various chemical decontamination methods for in situ cleaning of dental implant surfaces. This research was critical for improving the long-term success of dental implants and enhancing patient outcomes.
During the congress, we had the pleasure of reconnecting with esteemed colleagues and collaborators, including Maryam Rahmati and Augie Sanz from UC Davis, as well as Manu Gomez from Palma. A special moment was reuniting with Håvard’s very first thesis supervisor, Professor Glasmacher from Hannover.
The TERMIS World Congress is a leading global forum dedicated to advancing tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We were proud to see our department’s work showcased on this prestigious platform, contributing to the mission of improving patient outcomes worldwide. In April 2026, the TERMIS EU conference will be held in Palma de Mallorca, where our department will be part of the organising committee. We encouraged our colleagues and peers to attend these TERMIS sessions and engage in the discussions that furthered the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We look forward to the continued exchange of knowledge and collaboration within this vibrant scientific community.
We acknowledge the financial support by the "Waste-to-resource: eggshells as a source for next generation biomaterials for bone regeneration" EGGSHELL EEA-Norway grant and RCN project Multispecies biofilm for investigate non-antibiotic therapies in dentistry (MISFAITH)
