His primary research interests include tissue engineering, biomaterials development, 3D printing for medical applications, dental implants, bone regeneration, and periodontal regeneration. Dr. Vaquette's work often involves the design and testing of novel scaffolds for soft and hard tissue regeneration, with a particular emphasis on creating clinically viable solutions for dental and orthopedic applications.

Dr. Vaquette has secured significant funding from various sources including the International Team for Implantology Foundation, Australian Dental Research Fund Inc, University of Zurich, and Osteology Foundation. His current projects include understanding resorption patterns in vertically augmented bone and developing fiber-guiding scaffolds functionalized with Emdogain for periodontal regeneration.

• Understanding resorption patterns in vertically augmented bone (2023-2025)
• A Fibre guiding scaffold functionalised with Emdogain for periodontal regeneration (2023-2024)
• Dimensionally stable vertical bone augmentation using release bone morphogenetic protein 2 loaded 3D-printed Gelatine Methacrylate/mesoporous bioglass (2022-2024)

Dr. Vaquette is actively supervising multiple PhD and Master's students, both as principal advisor and associate advisor. He frequently collaborates with Professor Saso Ivanovski on research projects and student supervision. His supervision portfolio includes projects on melt electrowritten scaffolds for oral soft tissue augmentation, tissue scaffolds for facial reconstruction, and bioresorbable metals as alternatives to titanium.

His research has resulted in numerous publications spanning from 2004 to 2025, with a strong focus on scaffold design, biomaterials characterization, and regenerative approaches for dental and orthopedic applications.
