Adriano Caliari

Adriano Caliari is a Researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), affiliated with the University of Barcelona. He leads the Bioinspired Interactive Materials and Protocellular Systems research group within IBEC's interdisciplinary framework bridging engineering and life sciences.

His work focuses on:

• Designing bioinspired materials that mimic biological structures
• Developing protocellular systems (artificial cell-like entities)
• Creating interactive biomaterials for regenerative applications
• Exploring nanoscale bioelectrical properties
• Advancing synthetic biology approaches for medical solutions

Calari's research integrates principles from nanotechnology, biomaterials science, and cellular engineering to develop next-generation solutions for regenerative therapies. His group contributes to IBEC's mission of translating fundamental discoveries into practical biomedical applications through industry and hospital collaborations.

As part of IBEC's certified research ecosystem (including My Green Lab-certified laboratories), his work aligns with institutional commitments to open science, sustainability, and gender diversity in bioengineering.
