Organ Tissue Engineering

Daniel Eberli is a scientific physician working in the translational field of urologic tissue engineering. He has a medical degree from the Medical School in Zurich, Switzerland, and a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine from Wake Forest University, Winston Salem, NC. He has a faculty position at the Department of Urology at the University Hospital Zurich, where he devotes half of his time to patient care. Together with his research team, he is working on novel biomaterials for bladder reconstruction, improving autonomic innervation, cellular treatment of incontinence and tracking of stem cells. Sang Jin Lee is currently Associate Professor at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine. Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea in 2003 and took a postdoctoral fellowship in the Laboratories for Tissue Engineering and Cellular Therapeutics at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston and the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine where he is currently a faculty member. He is also cross-appointed to the Virginia Tech-WFU Biomedical Engineering and Science. Dr. Lee has authored more than 120 scientific publications and reviews, has edited 1 textbook, and has written 30 chapters in several books. Dr. Lee's current research works focus on designing and fabricating clinically applicable tissue or organ constructs using 3D bioprinting strategies. Andreas Traweger is a Research Professor for Regenerative Biology at the Paracelsus Medical University. He received his PhD in Genetics from the University of Salzburg and completed his post-doctoral training at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute in Toronto. He was then R&D Manager at Baxter before joining the Paracelsus Medical University. He published numerous peer-reviewed manuscripts (1502 citations; h-index: 17) and serves as ad hoc reviewer for various renowned journals. His research is inter-disciplinary in nature, focusing on both fundamental science and translation for human health. His research interests lie in devising novel strategies in tendon and bone regeneration.
