Patrick Weber

Dr. Patrick Weber is a researcher at the Institute for Biomechanics (ETH Zürich) specializing in Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication. His work focuses on developing zwitterionic hydrogels for cartilage regeneration and osteoarthritis treatment, with recent studies evaluating their anti-inflammatory and lubricating properties in vivo and ex vivo models.

• Research Highlights: Zwitterionic polymer conjugates, cartilage surface damage quantification via micro-CT, bioprinting of cartilaginous constructs, immune response modulation via biomaterials
• Labs: Affiliated with the Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication group at ETH Zürich

His publications demonstrate a trend toward zwitterionic hydrogels for osteoarthritis therapy, bioprinting techniques for tissue engineering, and novel diagnostic tools (e.g., Cartilage Roughness Score 2D). No scientific awards or student advisement details are mentioned in the provided texts.
