Frederico Barbosa completed his Integrated Masters in Biomedical Engineering on December 2021 from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - University of Lisbon. During his MSc thesis (Feb 2021 - Dec 2021), Frederico developed research work in the areas of Tissue Engineering and Material Science Engineering, focusing on the fabrication and optimization of novel electrospun biocompatible electroconductive and piezoelectric fibrous scaffolds capable of supporting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) with potential osteochondral tissue engineering applications. This work was developed in the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (IBB) in the IST-TagusPark campus. Frederico Barbosa is currently a PhD student (since December 2022) of the Bioengineering doctoral program organized by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - University of Lisbon, under the FCT-supported project: “Multi-layered Biodegradable and Piezoelectric Osteochondral Tissue Scaffolds: An In Vitro Platform for Modelling Osteoarthritis”. His research is focused primarily on the production of novel 3D multi-layered piezoelectric and biodegradable hierarchical scaffolds for the development of in vitro osteochondral disease models. This work is being developed in the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (IBB) and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), in New York. Frederico Barbosa has published three original research articles (as first author) in international peer-reviewed scientific journals. He has also presented his work in international scientific conference meetings (4 oral presentations and 5 posters). Frederico has mentored two Medical students in short projects in the field of bioengineering and a Biomedical Engineering master’s student in a course-related project.
