In 1992, she received the award for top academic achievement in Chemistry and was selected to study at the University of Amsterdam under a NUFFIC (the Netherlands organisation for international cooperation in higher education) program, under which she embarked on a career in research.In 1994, she was selected for an EU-funded PhD position in Biochemistry. She developed a method to analyse different types of lipids in rat kidney and urine to study the renal toxicity of N-phenyl anthranilic acid, an agent inducing renal papillary necrosis and mefenamic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug. The outcome was that lipids could be used as a non-invasive marker for renal papillary necrosis, a major disease caused by long term abuse of analgesic drugs. In 1999, she undertook postdoctoral work in medicinal chemistry at Aston University and developed a method to synthesise new cell membrane-permeable fluorescent analogues of the cyclic nucleotide second messengers, cAMP and cGMP, as sensors to study cellular mechanisms of memory storage. This first postdoc period provided her with advanced practical experience in chemical synthesis, which proved very valuable for her later research in nanotechnology. In 2001, she moved to the United States to take advantage of pioneering work in nanotechnology, an emerging and rapidly growing field of science. She brought together her previous skills to synthesise nanoparticle-based sensors for biological assays. An important feature of this first phase of work in BioNanotechology was the demonstration of the power of nanotechnological tools to simplify conventional bioanalytical assays, which results in substantial cost and time savings at the point of use. She developed a unique, sensitive, and highly specific immunoassay system for antibodies using Au nanoparticles (NPs). This baptism in nanotechnology in the USA gave her an insight into the field and convinced her that this was where her future lay.

Since his MSc project on the development of ceramic and metal-ceramic prostheses for dentistry, Dr. Souza has focused on the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of different biomedical materials for orthopedics, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, and implant dentistry. Furthermore, he has developed novel methods to assess the physicochemical properties of materials in contact with microrganisms under simulated oral environments. Also, Dr. Souza worked as lecturer and scientific researcher on biomedical dental materials at UFRN and Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), in Brazil in cooperation with UMinho, KU Leuven, and University of Illinois (USA). Currently, Dr. Souza is an assistant professor at the University Institute of Health Science (IUCS), CESPU, Portugal. Also, he is also a collaborative researcher at the Center for MicroElectroMechanical Systems (CMEMS-UMINHO). Within the last 5 years, a publication rate of approximately 17 articles/year in international scientific indexed (ISI) journals has been accomplished considering advisement of PhD and MSc students on a dynamic scientific mobility in the research network. Up to date, he has published a total of 138 articles were published in ISI journals. Also, 3 books were published by GrupoA, Elsevier, and Aeditora publishers and 11 projects were approved by FCT (Portugal) and CAPES/CNPq (Brazil). Dr. Souza was the main advisor on 34 MSc theses and co-advisor in 3 PhD theses. Currently, he is the main advisor on 5 PhD and 5 MSc projects. He also acts as a collaborative researcher in 2 ongoing FCT projects, namely POCI-01-0145-FEDER-030498 FunImp, and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031035 LaserMULTICER, and 4 ongoing CAPES/CNPq projects such as CAPES-PRINT 88887.578105/2020-00, CNPQ302071/2017-2, CNPq110831/2020-2, and MCTIC/CNPq421229/2018-7. Such strong scientific collaboration with joint projects results in scientific mobility and integration of improved methods developed by scientific research groups working together to improve the long-term performance of materials, engineering systems, implants, and prostheses.

Medical Technologist with mention in Morphophysiopathology and Cytodiagnosis (Universidad de Valparaíso, Chile, 2006), Master in Tissue Engineering (Universidad de Granada, Spain, 2010), and Master in Cellular and Molecular Biology (Universidad de Valparaíso, Chile, 2012). In 2011 he obtained the degree of Doctor in Biomedicine, and in 2017 the degree of Doctor in Clinical Medicine and Public Health (both from the University of Granada), in addition to the degree of Doctor in Health Sciencesfrom the University of Ghent, Belgium. Prof. Carriel carried out research stays in the Tissue Engineering group of the University of Ghent, Belgium. He is currently Professor of Histology and Tissue Engineering at the University of Granada, and carries out his research activities in the areas of Histology and Histopathology, Tissue Engineering, and Neurosciences. He has published in high-impact journals, highlighting: Histochemistry & Cell Biology, Journal of Neural Engineering, Journal Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, Cell Tissue Organs, Tissue Engineering, Plos One, Placenta, J. Anat., Histology & Histopathology, Exp. Rev. Neuroth ., IOVS, J Tissue Eng. Reg. Med., Circulation, J Pineal Res, Front Cell Neurosc., Biomedical Materials, Soft Matter, etc. Highlights of this research activity include the development of two new histochemical methods for quality control of bioartificial tissues (the FMPS and MCOLL methods), two patents for advanced therapy products, and their participation in the creation of an artificial human skin model, which has been successfully transferred to the clinic. He has participated in 18 R&D projects directing 4 of them. In 2016 he received the Young Researchers Lifetime Achievement Award from the Social Council of the University of Granada, and is currently actively collaborating nationally and internationally.

Inez graduated as a Master of Biomedical Sciences (specialization: Environmental Health Sciences) in July of 2019 at Hasselt University. She did her master thesis on the application of electroactive bacteria for wastewater purification at the X-lab (Hasselt university) and the Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology (CMET, Ghent University). After this, her interest in the diverse application potential of microbial communities was spiked but she wanted to go back to her biomedical roots by applying to a project that had it all: the 3D intestine FWO project. This project aims to develop an in vitro model for the small intestinal ecosystem by combining a microbial community, human cell lines, hydrogels and 3D printing. She officially started as a PhD student on the 3D intestine project in May of 2019. Current project: 3D Biomimetic model of the host-microbiome small intestinal ecosystem

Senay Mihcin received her Ph.D. degree in Computational Biomechanics from Loughborough University, UK, in 2008, which was funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences of Research Council, UK (EPSRC). Afterwards, she worked as a research assistant at Computer Science on crash simulations using model "Expecting" for producing guidelines for automobile designers and manufacturers. She also worked as research fellow at mechanical engineering department of University of Leeds on "Kinematic FE Modelling of Cervical Spine". Later on she moved on gaining experience in industry in Manchester, UK, at Simulation Solutions Ltd, a producer of simulatorsfor artificial implants. She also took a role as a team leader at Medical School of Dundee University on translation of research into the clinics for EU funded FP7 project called "Trans-fusimo".
