Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medical Sciences named after K. Marcinkowski in Poznan and the City of Poznan would like to invite you to an open lecture by Prof. Dimitrios Lamprou entitled "Print your medicine with 3D technology". The lecture will take place on 9 December 2024 at 5:30 p.m. at the Medical Research Centre, room 1010, ul. Rokietnicka 8.
Professor Dimitrios Lamprou is employed as Head of the Department of Biofabrication and Advanced Manufacturing Processes at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He received his bachelor's degree in medical engineering from the University of Bradford (UK), where he worked on modelling flow and diffusion in dialysis processes. In turn, he obtained his MSc in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Surrey (UK), conducting research related to tissue engineering. He also holds a PhD in biological surface chemistry. In addition, he holds a certificate in computer science, a postgraduate certificate in research methods for laboratory professionals, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Middlesex University (UK) and an honorary doctoral degree from Semmelweis University (Hungary). He has also attended numerous training courses at renowned universities in Greece, the UK and the United States (including Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
