Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering

Christophe Egles is, since 2022, at University of Rouen Normandy. He holds a Normandy Region research chair of excellence entitled: Heterogeneous Bioinspired Macromolecular Supports Applied to Tissue Regeneration. Between 2010 and 2022, he was Professor at Université de Technologie de Compiègne (France). He earned his B.S. in Biochemistry and his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France. From 2001 to 2004, he served as Associate Professor at the University Louis Pasteur, School of Dentistry, where he studied the biomedical applications of biomaterials modifying cell/support interface. From 2005 to 2010, he joined Tufts University in the Division of Cancer Biology and Tissue Engineering as Assistant Professor and served as Associate Director of the Center for Integrated Tissue Engineering. He is an expert of tridimensional culture systems for regenerative medicine. His research focuses on regenerative medicine and the various tools available to help the body repair itself. Central to this effort is the development of new biomaterials, biocompatible, and bioactive (artificial skin or nerves or ligaments) as well as the fabrication of human tissue equivalent using innovative scaffolds (interpenetrated polymer scaffolds, fibrin-containing scaffolds, algae proteins for tissue engineering).
