Pedro L. Granja was born in 1970, in Porto, Portugal. His high school studies took place in Porto (Portugal) and São Paulo (Brazil). He graduated in Metallurgical Engineering at the Univ. Porto (UP) in 1993 and obtained his PhD in Engineering Sciences, also from UP, in 2001, as a result of studies carried out at Instituto de Engenharia Biomédica (INEB, UP) and INSERM U.443 (Univ. Bordeaux, France; presently U1026, Biotis). He carried out post-doctoral studies at INEB, was Invited Visiting Scientist at the Laboratory for Cell and Tissue Engineering, Univ. Michigan (USA, 2004; presently at Harvard Univ.) and Invited Professor at the Laboratoire de Biomatériaux et Polymères de Spécialité (CSPBAT), Univ. Paris 13 (France, 2009). He is presently Leader of the Biofabrication Group at Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde (i3S, UP). His research interests lie at the intersection between materials science, biology and medicine, namely on the development of biomaterials for biofabrication using principles and tools from tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. His research work has been focused on the molecular design of biofunctional hydrogels as 3D biomimics of the extracellular matrix. He received the 2006 Jean Leray Award by the European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) and is internationally reputed as founder (1998) and Editor-in-Chief of the Biomaterials Network (Biomat.net). He was further distinguished as Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE, 2020 by the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE). Moreover, he served as expert for several national and international funding agencies, organizations and companies. So far, he has authored more than 125 articles in international indexed journals, 2 books, 11 book chapters, 2 patents and presented over 170 invited lectures worldwide. His publications have been cited over 10,500 times (Google Scholar; h-index of 60).
