PhD CandidateResearch focus
Cesar is investigating nanocomposite biomaterials used in the biofabrication of 3D-printed bone constructs. He synthesizes novel nanocomposites and assesses them for their ability to signal cells during tissue development and for biological functionality.
He is supervised by Associate Professor Tim Woodfield, Dr Isha Mutreja, Dr Khoon Lim and Professor Gary Hooper.
