About
The emphasis of my research is the study of early phosphate and carbonate mineralization with the goal of biomaterial production for bone tissue engineering, including the production of mineralized hydrogels and controlled mineralization by liposome encapsulation. The focus of my PhD research was on morphological, structural and biochemical characteristics of complex aragonitic biomineral structures from marine invertebrates, combining techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR ICP-MS) with protein biochemical analysis like gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE and ...
