BaldemirTeam

We are pleased to announce that our project entitled Development of Bioactive Scaffolds for Breast Tissue Engineering Aimed at Preserving Volume and Contour while Enhancing Cellular Viability" has been awarded funding under the TÜBİTAK 1002-A Rapid Support Programme.


The project aims to design and develop novel bioactive scaffolds capable of preserving the natural architecture, volume, and contour of engineered breast tissue, while improving cellular survival and integration. This initiative aligns with BaldemirLab’s ongoing research in biomaterials and regenerative medicine, and represents a significant step towards developing next-generation, patient-oriented tissue engineering solutions.


The project team consists of:

  • Project Coordinator: Dr. Betül Aldemir Dikici

  • Researchers: Prof. Dr. Engin Özçivici, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Dikici, Dr. Elif Çavdaroğlu, and Ece Özmen (PhD student)

  • Project Consultant: Prof. Dr. Ahmet Yemenicioğlu

  • Scholar: Özgü Özkendir (MSc student)


We congratulate the entire team for this success and look forward to the innovative outcomes this collaboration will bring to the field of breast tissue engineering and biomaterial design!
