Anisoara Cimpean is a full professor at the University of Bucharest. She set up the first cell culture laboratory at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (DBBM) and implemented a new research direction in the host institution. Thus, she has been intensively involved in didactic activities by promoting and teaching courses on animal cell culture and tissue engineering. She received a Ph.D degree in Biology at the University of Bucharest (in 2000), followed by the habilitation degree in 2015 (“Developing strategies for in vitro biocompatibility assessment of novel biomaterials”). Her recent research work has been focused on analyzing the biocompatibility of various materials designed for bone implant applications, including ceramics, beta titanium alloys, Mg-based, and nanostructured materials, and on defining the mechanisms by which their interactions with osteoblasts, macrophages, and osteoclasts might guide implant success. Since 2012, Anisoara Cimpean has led the ”Biocompatibility and Tissue Engineering” research team.
