Lino Ferreira's Biography

Lino Ferreira, Principal Investigator, Biocant Center

Lino Ferreira is the director of the Biomaterials and Stem Cell-Based Therapeutics research group at Center of Neurosciences and Cell Biology (CNC), at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and the CNC coordinator of the MIT-Portugal Program. His current interests include the development of nanomateriais to track and manipulate exogenous and endogenous stem cells, and the development of 3D biomaterials to create synthetic stem cell niches in order to study and maximize the therapeutic potential of stem cells. For his work, he has received recently an European Research Council prize.

The ability to monitor transplanted cells in vivo by non-invasive imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to simultaneously manipulate them by intracellular delivery of miRNAs is important in the context of regenerative medicine. The formulation reported here uses FDA-approved components, which should facilitate its biomedical translation.
