O autorze

Deepak M. Kalaskar is Professor of Bioengineering in the Department of Ortho and MSK Science, Division of Surgery & Interventional Science, Faculty of Medical Sciences at University College London, United Kingdom. Professor Kalaskar is a multidisciplinary scientist with extensive experience in research, management, and education in biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and 3D fabrication technologies.
His research has been focused on the development of novel biomaterials and manufacturing processes to solve real-life problems in medicine. He has extensive experience in biomaterials, biocompatible coatings, 3D printing technologies, and design and development of medical devices and implants. He is working closely with several industries, clinical and academic collaborations for the development of new medical products and processes required for clinical translation. Some of his innovative 3D-printed medical devices are already used by patients. He is actively involved in running new clinical trials with various hospitals to bring 3D technologies from bench to bed side.
He is founder of the international research and educational platform supported by the British Council-the 3D Bioprinting Research Platform. The platform encourages multidisciplinary collaboration in 3D bioprinting research and education worldwide. He is the editor and author of four books in the field of 3D printing in medicine. Currently, he codirects the MSc program in Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive surgery at the University College London (UCL), to educate clinicians and scientists in translational medicine
