Name:

David Daniel Raphael Sebinger

Nationality:

Austria

 

Institute:

The Max Bergmann Centre of Biomaterials Dresden - Cluster of Excellence

Budapester Strasse 27

Qualifications:

Master of Science equivalent, area of specialization: Genetics.

At the Vienna University of Life Sciences, Austria.

(In Austria: the academic degree of “ Magister rerum naturalium” in the field of genetics.)

 

Work being undertaken on behalf of KIDSTEM:

Promoting the differentiation and organisation of different types of stem cells into functional nephrons by designing new synthetic scaffolds as part of the tissue engineering and biomaterials team:

Our aim is to produce a series of biomaterials with defined chemical modifications and topographies that will be screened for their ability to trigger ECM reorganisation and support nephrogenesis using cells harvested from embryonic mouse metanephroi and isolated metanephric mesenchyme.
Based on the most promising modified biomaterials/ECM mimics, we will then fabricate biomaterial scaffolds that will be screened for their ability to support nephrogenesis using KSCs, AFSCs, ESCs and MSCs.
