Regenerative Technologies Lab

Regenerative Technologies Laboratory is part of the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna.

Our scientific research focuses on developing technologies for Regenerative Medicine and Artifical Organs. The Regenerative Technologies Lab is grounded on a strongly interdisciplinary approach and on cross-fertilization between mechatronics, materials science, biotechnologies and molecular biology, with the aim of developing new therapeutic systems at different scales.

Every year, we open the doors of the BioRobotics Institute to celebrate San Faustino Day, the patronal festivity of Pontedera, the city that hosts our laboratories.

Each year, hundreds of people visit us: curious minds, families, students, and children fascinated by science 🧪🧫

It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to share our research, show the progress we’ve made, and inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators 🦾🤍

We look forward to welcoming you next year!

💊🔊 Medicine on demand? Yes, it’s possible!
Our study shows how drug-loaded droplets can be remotely triggered with safe, low-intensity and low frequency ultrasound, enabling precise and on-demand drug release even in deep tissues — all non-invasively.

🎯 A promising step towards therapies that can be activated exactly when and where they’re needed, improving safety and treatment outcomes.

🌍🙌 Paving the way for next-generation precision treatments, including tissue repair, cancer therapy, and chronotherapy”.

🙏 Huge thanks to .technology for their support with the ultrasound setup!

📢 PAPER ALERT 📢

In the framework of the FORGETDIABETES project, our group proposed an innovative approach to refill a fully implantable system for automatic intraperitoneal or intrathecal drug delivery 💊
The system could be refilled non-invasively through an ingestible drug-carrying capsule, which was magnetically docked 🧲
