How do you create smart materials capable of healing bone, restoring kidney function or reversing the onset of diabetes? Can our own stem cells be used to heal us? Join us as we explore these questions, and more, with experts within regenerative medicine. This event is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Prof Pamela Habibović's research group focuses on inorganic biomaterials for use in tissue regeneration, or as nanoparticles for theranostics, and on high-throughput production and screening approaches for biomaterials based on microfluidics.

Paolo De Coppi is a Consultant Paediatric Surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), and Reader and Head of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine at the UCL Institute of Child Health in London.

This talk and Q&A was filmed in the Ri on 1 October 2018.
