2026-IpdDip-02-Dicar - Development and characterization of 4D-printed multifunctional scaffolds for tissue and cancer engineering
The ultimate goal of the research program is thedevelopment and characterization of 4D-printedmultifunctional scaffolds. These will be applied tochallenges in the fields of tissue engineering and cancerresearch. To this end, the planned activities are: (i)development and fabrication of scaffolds using 3Dprinting techniques; (ii) thermo-mechanical and functionalcharacterization of these scaffolds; (iii) preliminarybiological characterization (specifically, biocompatibilitytests) of these scaffolds; (iv) drug release testing.
