One Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Innovative Training Networks (ITN) has recently been awarded to our Institute, representing a 17% success rate. This new project (BioImplant ITN) will train 12 young researchers in the area of development of bioresorbable materials for orthopaedic and vascular implant applications. BioImplant ITN is coordinated by the National University of Ireland Galway.
Our center will recruit 3 researchers under this project, who will be working in textile-reinforced composite structures, magnesium fiber polymer composite and 3D printed bioabsorbable composite materials for medical device development. They will be supervised by Javier Llorca, Carlos González and Claudio Lópes.
