The Biomaterials Group II has 25 years of experience working in the area of ​​biomaterials and tissue engineering. The group is specialized in the synthesis and optimization of new organic and inorganic-based materials, and in the development of processing technologies for medical applications.

The group has extensive experience in the design, synthesis and development of environmentally friendly non-conventional organic materials, as well as in the processing of ceramic, polymeric and hybrid materials. This experience has allowed the design of new synthesis routes that have solved four challenges of the American consultancy InnoCentive.

In the last 5 years, the group's activity in the area of ​​materials processing has been directed towards the preparation of porous scaffolds using 3D printing and bioprinting technologies, including a cellular component in the composition. This last project has been carried out within the framework of the European Space Agency, giving rise to a doctoral thesis for tissue bioprinting in long-term space travel. This work has been incorporated into the CSIC white paper to face the challenges of the future. The group belongs to the CSIC platform for the development of FAB3D additive manufacturing: https://pti-fab3d.csic.es/
