Liliana Grenho studied Microbiology at the Catholic University of Portugal and got her PhD in 2015 from the Faculty of Engineering, U. Porto (FEUP). Currently, she is a researcher at BoneLab, at the Faculty of Dental Medicine, U. Porto (FMDUP). Her main area of scientific activity is biological characterization of innovative biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs to enhance bone tissue healing and regeneration. Research is majorly focused on lessening the potential microbial adhesion/proliferation at the surgical site, further promoting bone tissue regeneration through the enhancement of the biological response.
