About the Lab

We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers with a diverse range of expertise spanning materials science, stem cell biology, fluid mechanics, 3D printing, biomanufacturing, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). Our state-of-the-art labs, located on NCSR Demokritos's campus in Athens, Greece, are equipped with advanced facilities for wet lab work. This includes customized 3D printing, sophisticated microscopy, precision machining, and specialized cell culture equipment. Our expertise in AI/ML complements our scientific pursuits, enhancing our ability to engage in dynamic and fast-paced research.  Our group seeks to recruit and/or engage with entrepreneurs and business executives to help us develop tools and strategies for translation/commercialization of our research. This unique blend of skills and technologies enables our team to push the boundaries of scientific innovation.
