Big gracias to our speakers, engaged audience (~50 strong) and @iadr.bsky.social & @iadr-oms.bsky.social
for enabling this cross-disciplinary dialogue on how to push the frontiers of oral & craniofacial regeneration—onward to clinical impact! #TeamScience (6/6)

Dr. Conrado Aparicio (UPC) closed the session with bioinspired, antimicrobial biomineralized materials that both spark mineralization and suppress infection—game-changers for long-term implant success. #Biomimetics #Antimicrobial (5/6)

Next, Dr. Luiz Bertassoni (@ohsuknight.bsky.social) wowed us with precision biofabrication—nanoscale mineralization, bioprinting & organ-on-a-chip platforms that decode craniofacial complexity. #Bioprinting #BoneOnChip (4/6)

Next, Dr. Lukasz Witek (NYU) showcased how 3D-printed biomineral scaffolds unlock design freedom for load-bearing craniofacial defects while promoting osteointegration. #3DPrinting #Biomaterials (3/6)

We opened with “Challenges in Maxillofacial Reconstruction & Current Standard-of-Care”—a reality-check on clinical gaps that keep tissue engineers up at night (credit to Dr. James Melville from some of his cases). #Craniomaxillofacial #Regeneration (2/6)
