Researchers' Night – 27/09/2024
Representation of ESCULAPE Partners at Researchers' Night – 27/09/2024
The Researchers’ Night event provided an opportunity to showcase scientific achievements in Latvia, offering the general public a chance to explore cutting-edge research and technological advancements. As part of this initiative, ESCULAPE project partners actively participated, presenting their ongoing work in electrospinning technologies and nanofiber-based materials.
Vipin Kumar from RESPILON and Ines Marques from Biofabics represented the ESCULAPE consortium, engaging with attendees through interactive demonstrations and discussions. Vipin Kumar showcased RESPILON’s expertise in needleless electrospinning techniques, highlighting recent advancements in nanofiber membrane fabrication for biomedical applications. His presentation included insights into the integration of MXene-based electrospun materials and their potential in healthcare and filtration technologies.
Ines Marques from Biofabics introduced the audience to biofabrication strategies for tissue engineering applications. She demonstrated how advanced biomaterials and 3D electrospun scaffolds are being developed to support regenerative medicine and organ-on-a-chip technologies. Visitors had the opportunity to learn about the role of electrospinning in creating biomimetic structures that enhance cell growth and tissue regeneration.
The participation of ESCULAPE partners in the event contributed to raising public awareness about nanotechnology-driven solutions in biomedical science. Through hands-on exhibits and expert discussions, the researchers emphasized the importance of collaborative European initiatives in pushing the boundaries of innovation.
