Rui L. Reis has been involved in biomaterials research since 1990. He has worked several periods abroad, in different Universities and companies. His main area of research is the development of biomaterials from natural origin polymers (starch, chitin, chitosan, casein, soy, algae based materials, silk fibroin, gellan gum, carragenan, hyaluronic acid, ulvan, xanthan, marine collagen, smart peptides, aloe vera, etc.) that in many cases his group originally proposed for a range of biomedical applications, including different medical devices, bone replacement and fixation, biodegradable stents and drug eluting stents, drug delivery carriers, partially degradable bone cements and tissue engineering scaffolding for a range of different tissues. Lately the research of his group has been increasingly focused on tissue engineering (TE), regenerative and precision medicine, stem cells and drug delivery applications. His research group works with bone marrow, adipose-derived, umbilical cord, amniotic origin and embryonic stem cells. The group has been working on the engineering of bone, cartilage, osteochondral, skin, intervertebral discs, meniscus, tendons and ligaments, liver and neurological tissues regeneration, as well as on TE approaches for different 3D disease models, including cancer models and new cancer therapeutic approaches, and therapies for diabetes.
