João Pedro Bebiano e Costa (male, PhD) is a Post-Doc researcher at the I3Bs Research Group Biomaterials, Biomimetics and Biodegradables, University of Minho. His background includes an MSc in Bioengineering at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, which he finished in 2015. In that same year, João was awarded with a PhD scholarship and enrolled in the PhD program in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells. In 2019, he concluded his PhD degree at i3Bs Research Group, University of Minho with the highest qualitative grade. During his PhD and Post-Doc life, he worked under 5 National financed projects and is core team member (laboratory work, supervising, report) in two ongoing projects (B-FABULUS (PTDC/BBB-ECT/2690/2014) and Fun4TE (PTDC/EMD-EMD/31367/2017)). Currently, João is continuing his research work at 3B's Research Group, University of Minho and he is also contributing with his expertise in the preparation of innovative proposals to attract National and European funding as well as raising interest from companies to finance pre-clinical studies using his own patent (WO/2018/225049) for the production of 3D Printed implants. His background covers different fields related with biomedical/biotechnology field including advanced biomaterials, advanced biofabrication methodologies, isolation/expansion of stem cells, processing, modification and evaluation of hybrid systems, response of cells and tissues to materials, in vivo screening, pre- and clinical tests. In particular, his research work focused in different technology approaches (e.g. 3D printing) and the use of several different biomaterials to produce bio-engineered patient-specific implants for musculoskeletal injuries. João has 17 peer-reviewed papers/book chapters published with Q1 score (12 original paper, 1 book chapter and 4 review papers) and 2 review papers and 1 book chapter submitted and under revision. He is also inventor in 2 international patents applications and co-inventor of a 1 provisional patent application. His work has been cited 308 times in Google Scholar and has a h-index of 9. Over the last years, he has participated in several national and international conferences/meetings (TERM STEM/Society for Biomaterials) with 9 oral presentations, 21 poster presentations and 6 conference indexed abstracts. He was also invited as speaker for 2 ESSKA FELLOWSHIP, a workshop (3rd BAMOS Workshop ¿ Term Stem 2019) and invited to publish in scientific journals (Journal of 3D Printing in Medicine and JISAKOS). João has also reviewed publications from international peer review journals (e.g. Biofabrication). Furthermore, he did 2 international secondments as visiting researcher (USA and UK) to promote the international validation of his research work. Moreover, João always had an active role on student¿s supervision, including 5 researchers (1 BSc student, 1 MSc students, 3 PhD students), and in the instruction/advice of several researcher and students. As major results, his innovative work resulted in a granted international patent, a front cover and publication in high impact factor journal (Advanced Healthcare Materials IF: 7.4), another publication in Bio-Design and Manufacturing (IF: 4.1) and an impactful publication in the Chemistry of Materials journal (IF: 9.6). His work was also awarded with a grant from Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento (FLAD) to internationally validate his research in one of the most important and recognized institute on 3D Printing field (Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine). He has been involved in the development of innovative cutting-edge natural-based bioinks (e. g. silk fibroin, gellan gum, fibrinogen) and hybrid biofabrication approaches that, in 2020, resulted in an awarded 15th month contract under the project Fun4TE (PTDC/EMD-EMD/31367/2017) due to his impactful work.
