My name is Andisheh Motealleh. I am from Iran and it's now six years that I am in Germany.
And then I did my PhD here and now I am a postdoctoral researcher.
I became fascinated actually with cell-biomaterial interactions, it's very interesting for me because
the aim is providing new tissue regeneration or cell-cell suppression or cell migration or even
you can use it for cancer therapy. So for me it is very interesting because it's very critical
what is your material. Your biomaterial should be very friendly for cells and then you can
control the cell behaviours by that. You can either promote more cell proliferation or
even you can stop proliferation of cells. So this topic is very interesting for me.
We want to find a way to have better treatment for patients. Therefore we want to make a bridge
between engineering fields and medicine fields and at the same time we have to reduce the
side effects of these biomaterials as much as possible. So it's very important because we are
talking about the enhancement of the quality life of the human beings.
I think when you are a scientist, every day you are doing something new and sometimes you don't know what is happening and
actually you expect sometimes what you want
but you don't know, you never know. You always make something new
and when you think that you are going to help the humans then it's even more interesting.
