Dr Elena De-Juan-Pardo has extensive experience in biomaterials and biofabrication. She has focused her research on tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and in vitro modelling.
Her current research involves the development of a pioneering 3D printing technology, known as melt electrowriting, which enables the production of highly controlled cellular scaffolds for tissue engineering and biomedical applications.
Dr De-Juan-Pardo is the laboratory head of the tissue engineering laboratory, Translational 3d Printing Laboratory for Advanced Tissue Engineering (T3mPLATE) at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. She is also a senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia.
Dr De-Juan-Pardo has received multiple prestigious awards including the Spanish National Prize in Materials Engineering, the Otto-Hahn-Medal of the Max-Planck Society, and the Stem Cells Young Investigator Award.
