Frederico Barbosa completed his Integrated Masters in Biomedical Engineering on December 2021 from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - University of Lisbon. During his MSc thesis (Feb 2021 - Dec 2021), Frederico developed research work in the areas of Tissue Engineering and Material Science Engineering, focusing on the fabrication and optimization of novel electrospun biocompatible electroconductive and piezoelectric fibrous scaffolds capable of supporting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) with potential osteochondral tissue engineering applications. This work was developed in the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (IBB) in the IST-TagusPark campus. Frederico Barbosa is currently a research fellow on the FCT-funded project "Stimuli2Bioscaffold - Stimuli modelling for BioScaffolds: from numerical modelling to in vitro tests" in the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development (CDRSP) of Instituto Politécnico de Leiria. His research is focused primarily on the design and development of novel electroconductive and piezoelectric scaffolds for the in vitro electrical stimulation of MSCs and validation of a new bioreactor prototype. Frederico Barbosa has published one original research article in an international peer-reviewed scientific journal. He has also presented his work in an international scientific conference meeting (1 oral presentation and 1 poster). Three additional abstracts (co-author) were also accepted for future oral presentations. Frederico has mentored a Medical student in a short project in the field of bioengineering.
