MaP Award 2021 finalists, with winner Dr. Tino Matter

In his work, Dr. Matter spearheaded the development of bioactive metal oxide nanoparticle-based tissue adhesives for wound healing applications in an interdisciplinary collaboration with leading clinical experts. He demonstrated that his technology is superior to commonly used fibrin-based tissue sealants and considerably improves the survival of skin grafts compared to the clinical gold standard. Dr. Matter completed his doctoral degree under the supervision of Prof. Inge Herrmann in the Nanoparticle Systems Engineering Laboratory (D-MAVT & Empa). The technology Dr. Matter developed is commercialised by the startup external pageanavo.

We would also like to acknowledge the two other MaP Award 2021 finalists, Dr. Chiao-Peng Hsu (Laboratory for Soft Materials and Interfaces, D-MATL) and Dr. Philippe Grönquist (Wood Materials Science Group, D-BAUG & Empa) for their promising doctoral theses and their excellent presentations at the MaP Graduate Symposium 2021.
