Research Activities
My research at iBB/SCERG focuses on the development and operation of bioreactor culture systems for the large-scale expansion and controlled differentiation of human Plutipotent Stem Cells (hPSC) and hPSC-derived cells, maintaining biological functionality and safety in a reproducible manner, for regenerative medicine therapies and for drug discovery.
