João C. Silva completed his PhD in Bioengineering Cell Therapies & Regenerative Medicine in September 2019 (with Distinction and Honor, >top 2% students) under the scope of a collaborative international and multidisciplinary project between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI, USA) and the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (iBB) from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)-University of Lisbon. Throughout his PhD, which comprised a period as a visiting scholar at RPI (Feb 2017-Dec 2018), João C. Silva developed research work in different areas such as Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, Material Science Engineering, Stem Cell Biology and Additive Manufacturing. João C. Silva also holds a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering (Dec 2013), during which he had the opportunity to gain international experience through an Erasmus exchange program grant to study at Czech Technical University of Prague(Sep 2011-Feb 2012). During his MSc thesis (Feb 2013-Dec 2013), he developed research work focusing on gene delivery strategies to modulate stem cell differentiation. Afterwards, João C. Silva worked as a researcher in 3B's Research Group, University of Minho (Jun 2014-Jan 2015). João C. Silva is currently an MSCA Postdoc Fellow at Politecnico di Torino and a researcher in the Stem Cell Engineering Research Group from IBB-IST, where he is the PI/coordinator of the FCT project InSilico4OCReg. His research interests focus mainly on i) tailoring biomaterials structure and composition to mimic stem cell microenvironments; ii) the development of novel biomimetic and bioactive scaffold-based approaches for improved tissue regeneration; and iii) design and prototyping of bioreactor devices for the fabrication of tissue-engineered constructs under controlled in vivo-like biophysical stimulation. João C. Silva(h-index of 17; >1200 citations) has published 44 original research articles and 17 conference papers in international peer-reviewed scientific journals. He is also the author of 1 book chapter, co-author of 1 patent, and presented his work in more than 30 international conference meetings (31 oral/30 poster presentations). João C. Silva is a member of the Reviewer Board for the journals Polymers and Front. Bioeng. Biotech., and has reviewed articles for >60 scientific journals in the fields of Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine (Acta Biomaterialia/Science Adv/Adv Health Mater/Biofabrication). He also guest-edited 3 special issues(Polymers, Int. J. Bioprint. and Front. Bioeng. Biotech.). He is a member of the scientific organizations ACS, EORS, ESB, CelllAgri Portugal and World Biomaterials Community. João's academic partners include researchers from RPI(USA), University of Nottingham (UK), UPC-BarcelonaTech (Spain), CDRSP-IPLeiria(PT), IT(PT) and Centro Egas Moniz (CiiEM, PT). He works also in close collaboration with a clinical partner (Dr. Nuno A. Ribeiro - orthopedic surgeon at Hospital de Lusíadas, Lisboa) and with industrial partners (healthcare companies Bioceramed and CERAMED-Medical Coatings), which manufacture biomaterial devices for orthopedic applications. João Silva's supervision experience includes 6 PhD(ongoing), 1 research fellow, and 13 MSc Thesis(7 concluded/6 ongoing) and mentoring of the research activities of 4 undergrad/8 MSc/9 PhD students. He was also part of the jury committee as the main arguer of >12 MSc theses in the Bioeng. Department at IST. João C. Silva lectured classes of 1 MSc course (Biomaterials Technology/Organ Engineering), 2 PhD courses(Advanced Experimental Techniques and Materials for Regenerative Medicine-PhD in Bioengineering) and 1 PhD Advanced Course on "Stem Cell Technologies"(Faculty of Pharmacy-ULisboa). He was also awarded 13 awards/distinctions, including the Portugal-UK Bilateral Research Fund 2021 Grant (Visiting scholar at Bioelectronics Lab/Univ. of Nottingham), ON Foundation Education Grant Award, and Lab2Market innovation program 2021 Finalist(Everis).
