Biomaterials for Oral and Dental Tissue Engineering

Lobat Tayebi is a Batten Endowed Professor and Director of the Institute for Engineering in Medicine, Health, & Human Performance (EnMed), Batten College of Engineering and Technology, Old Dominion University, VA, United States. She was previously an Associate Professor and Director of Research at Marquette University School of Dentistry, NJ, United States. She received her PhD from University of California-Davis in 2011. She is a researcher in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with multiple patents in the field. Her publication list comprises of more than 115 peer-reviewed articles including papers in Nature Materials and Advanced Materials. Her current research activities cover projects in treatment of complex multi-tissue oral and craniomaxillofacial defects, growth factor delivery and interfacial hard/soft tissue expansion, growth factor delivery, vascularization and stem cell seeding in patient specific 3D-bioprinted scaffolds. Keyvan Moharamzadeh is Professor of Endodontics and Associate Dean at Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAE. He graduated with a double degree in Chemistry and Dentistry in 2003 and obtained his PhD in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Sheffield in 2006. He then completed an additional year of clinical training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and a 5-year specialist training program approved by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He is a UK-registered specialist in Endodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and Restorative Dentistry and was the program director for postgraduate DClinDent periodontology and prosthodontics courses at the University of Sheffield. His clinical work has included both private dental practice at Harley Street Dental Group in London and hospital-based treatment of patients referred by the General Dental Practitioners for advanced restorative rehabilitation. He is well-known for his multidisciplinary internationally recognized research and holds an honorary research position in Marquette University in the USA.
