Beatrice Francesca Massel is a passionate researcher with a strong background in Biomedical Engineering and a keen interest in advancing Regenerative Medicine. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Polytechnic of Turin, where she discovered her enthusiasm for biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. Her master's thesis involved the development of innovative 2D and 3D substrates designed to improve the interaction between cells and biomaterials in in vitro models of skeletal muscle tissue, sparking her dedication to creating solutions that can make a real difference in patients' lives.

Currently, Beatrice is undertaking her doctoral research as part of the BioFusion project in MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine at Maastricht University. Her work focuses on designing a calcium phosphate-based biomaterial that not only supports bone growth but also integrates seamlessly with the body to improve outcomes for patients. She is excited to contribute to a project that bridges cutting-edge material science with impactful healthcare solutions.
