Microsystems for Enhanced Control of Cell Behavior

Andrés Díaz Lantada is Associate Professor at Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Spain, teaching 'Design and manufacture with polymers', 'Computer-aided engineering', and 'Bioengineering. He carries out research at the UPM Product Development Laboratory linked to the development of biomedical devices based on smart/multifunctional materials, biomimetic fractal and non-Euclidean designs, and mechanical metamaterials for enhanced performance and adequate tissue interaction.
