Abstract
Pedro Morouço is a very enthusiastic and provoking early-career researcher. Currently he is the Head of R&D Biofabrication Group at the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development – Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal. He is the Principal Investigator of “2bio4cartilage – Integrated intervention program for prevention and treatment of cartilage lesions”, and his research activity focuses, mostly, on products and processes engineering, aiming to bringing the gap between the lab and in vivo applications. In the last years, he has been invited to collaborate in several national and international projects, providing a significant income for the Biofabrication Group (currently has 8 grant-holders). Despite his young age, he has co-edited books, authored, co-authored more than 150 scientific works, member of the scientific committees in various conferences, member of the advisory board on TERM for Cambridge Scholars Publishing, editorial member in various journals, and keynote speaker for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine 2016(Manchester, UK) and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine 2016 (Berlin) & 2017 (Barcelona).
