I am a Full Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de València with more than 30 years of experience in biomaterial research. Until January 2023, I was the Principal Investigator of one of the research groups of the Biomedical Networking Research Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN) of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), and the Coordinator of the Biomaterials and Advanced Therapies Program of CIBER-BBN. I was also the director of the Centre for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering (CBIT) from 2008 to 2014, a researcher at the Cell Therapy Network, TerCel, of the ISCIII from 2007 to 2011, and a researcher at the Prince Felipe Research Center of Valencia from 2006 to 2011. I am a member of the editorial board of the journal “Materials” since 2019, and belonged to the editorial board of "Tissue Engineering" from 2012 to 2015. Since 2000 my main line of research has had to do with Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, in everything related to the design, synthesis and physical, chemical and biological characterization of macroporous scaffolds for cell culture and transplantation, with special interest in bone and cartilage regeneration and the development of disease models for blood cancers.
