معرفی
Claudia Di Bella is an Associate Professor and academic orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Melbourne, Australia, where she leads the Cartilage Regeneration Program of Research. Her work centers on advanced 3D printing technologies and bioprinting applications for musculoskeletal regeneration, bridging engineering innovation with clinical orthopaedics.
Her research spans Bioprinting, Musculoskeletal Regeneration, Orthopaedic Surgery, Tissue Engineering, Stem Cell Research, and 3D Printing for Medical Applications. She specializes in developing biofabrication techniques for cartilage repair, tumor modeling, and surgical applications, with emphasis on hydrogel bioscaffolds and stem cell integration.
Analysis of her 2020 publications reveals a cohesive focus on bioprinting-driven solutions: 75% address cartilage regeneration through hydrogel bioscaffolds and stem cells, 25% explore oncological applications including osteosarcoma modeling and sarcoma surgery. Key trends include in situ surgical bioprinting (3 articles), bioscaffold degradation monitoring (2 articles), and diagnostic imaging for chondrosarcoma (1 article), demonstrating translational work from lab to clinical practice.
As program leader, Dr. Di Bella directs a multidisciplinary team integrating material scientists, engineers, and clinicians to advance regenerative orthopaedics. Her collaborations span institutions including the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and international networks in tissue engineering, with editorial roles such as Guest Associate Editor for Visceral Surgery at Frontiers in Surgery.
