Miguel is a cell biologist with a long career in the eye field. Miguel spent more than twenty years studying the different signalling pathways used by cornea, lens and retina cells to proliferate and differentiate during normal eye development. But also to learn how these pathways are altered during pathological conditions. Miguel is responsible for scaling up tissue production, particularly interested in understanding the technical regulatory framework required to release the final 3D Bio-Tissues products to the market.
As 3DBT's Head of Manufacturing, Miguel offers insights into manufacturing and manufacturing scale-up of Kerato's corneal tissue products, and provides ongoing scientific advice.
Enrico is a 3rd year PhD student at Newcastle University funded by 3DBT. He obtained his master`s degree in Industrial Biotechnology from University of Padua (Italy) in 2020. His PhD includes finding alternatives to corneal transplantation using 3DBT`s knowledge and applications. Enrico is also contributing to optimising and testing multiple 3DBT`s technologies and products.
