pArt of Science
As researchers, when we explore something, we are passionate about sharing it in a way that would be received more easily.
We write articles; we do presentations, and visual materials: photography, microscopy images, basic sketches, detailed illustrations, 3D models, are often the best narrators of our research.
Visual communication tools are powerful ways to grab the attention of the audience and enhance the memorability of the subject. Similarly, throughout my research, I needed visual materials to tell my story.

BaldemirLab is dedicated to addressing global challenges in health, tissue engineering, nutrition, and sustainability through the development of innovative biomaterials.
​
By tailoring both natural and synthetic biomaterials, either synthesized or isolated in the lab, using advanced techniques such as emulsion templating, additive manufacturing (3D printing), freeze-drying, and hydrogel synthesis, decellularisation, BaldemirLab specializes in creating functional materials for applications in;
​
- bone tissue engineering
- interface tissue engineering
- guided bone/tissue regeneration
- cellular agriculture
The ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact in these interdisciplinary fields!
​
BaldemirLab embraces a process-driven research culture that values not only outcomes but also a deep understanding of the intricate engineering of the natural world. By seeking to uncover and mimic nature’s design principles, the lab aspires to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.
​
Throughout this journey, BaldemirLab is committed to nurturing the skills and expertise of its members in critical research areas, including literature analysis, project development, experimental research, knowledge dissemination through publications and real-world applications, scientific and medical visualisation (Sci-Art), and science communication (Sci-Com).
