Biography:
Miss. Shanaya Phal Desai is a PhD student at the Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, and she is working in the Laboratory of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on biomimetic materials that can enhance osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and improve vascularisation to promote osteointegration of bone implants. Her research aims at addressing challenges of insufficient vascularisation limiting bone repair and regeneration.
