Dr Camarero-Espinosa is an Ikerbasque Associate Professor, Ramón y Cajal Fellow and Group Leader at POLYMAT where she stablished the BioSmarTE group in 2021. Her research revolves around the regeneration of complex tissues through the design of smart implantable scaffolds and the development of cellular models of disease. This passes through the design of stimuli responsive systems, the exploitation of techniques such as 3D/4D (bio)printing and the understanding of stem cell biological processes and their interactions with biomaterials.
Sandra obtained her PhD degree in 2015 in Polymer Chemistry and Bioengineering from the Adolphe Merkle Institute (Fribourg, Switzerland) and spent 2 years as postdoc at the AIBN Institute (Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, University of Queensland) in Australia (2015-2016) and another 3 years at MERLN institute at Maastricht University (The Netherlands, 2017-2020) where she focused her studies on the fabrication of 3D printed scaffolds for the regeneration of complex tissues. Sandra has co-authored > 40 publications, delivered over 20 invited talks, and has supervised 9 PhD students and 2 postdocs. She has been recognized with prizes for an Outstanding PhD thesis (Swiss Chemical Society), as Future Faculty Scholar (American Chemical Society), and is an elected member of the Young Academy of Europe. Sandra serves as editorial board member of Biofabrication (IOP) and of the Journal of Biological Engineering (Springer Nature).
