Eduardo Silva will be giving a seminar entitled "Biomaterial Systems for Engineering New Vascular Networks", Tuesday the 26th June at 11h in room 1.38, Taguspark. Eduardo Silva is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the University California, Davis. He received his degree in Metallurgical and Materials Science Engineering from University of Porto, and he holds a Ph.D. in Biomedicine from the Gulbenkian PhD Programme, with work performed at Harvard University. His research long-term goal is to engineer novel polymer based vehicles for controlled delivery of cells, drugs and/or genes in the context of vascularizing ischemic tissues.
