Iratxe Madarieta (female) obtained her degree in Biological Sciences in 1999 and her PhD in chemistry in 2012 by the University of the Basque Country. She is senior researcher in the Biomaterials Area-Health Division of TECNALIA with more than 20 years of experience in the research of Biomaterials. Firstly focused on the biocompatibility studies of synthetic materials and developing new advanced materials with therapeutic and regenerative activity mainly in 2D and 3D cellular models. During this period, she achieved a new corneal implant with therapeutic capacity as an inventor of a patent ("Implantable optical system, method for developing it and applications" WO2008020087). In the last 10 years she has focused her research on the investigation and development of biologic scaffold materials particularly adipose tissue extracellular matrix ones. These investigations have led her to obtain a new patent ("Method for producing a decellularized tissue matrix" WO2016EP82849). She focused her research on the developmenet and application of ECM-derived biomaterials (adipose, cartilage, msucle..) fo in vitro microtissue models, organ-on-a-chip devices, electrophysiology and regenerative medicine. She is currently working on the application of the new biomaterial resulting from the patented method for in vitro tissue models and tissue bioprinting technologies. As a result of his latest research, he has demonstrated the ability of the material to bioprint cells and tissues and to induce stem cell differentiation, research that has allowed him to publish more than 10 publications in the last 5 years.
