Pierre WEISS is a Professor at the University of Nantes, serving as Director of the Osteo-Articular and Dental Engineering Laboratory (LIOAD, INSERM UMRS 791) and Vice Dean of Research at the UFR of Odontology. He leads a 70-member team focused on skeletal tissue engineering, biomaterials, and injectable bone substitutes. His work emphasizes hydrogel-based strategies for bone and cartilage regeneration, with 15+ patents and industry transfers. He coordinates the Bioregos research federation (Fed 4199) and has held leadership roles in national dental biomaterials societies.
- Education: PhD in Dental Surgery (1989), University of Nantes PhD (1997)
- Key Roles: Hospital practitioner in conservative odontology, Elected member of the University of Nantes Scientific Council
Research interests include biocompatible hydrogels, tissue regeneration strategies, and translational medical devices. His team’s work bridges lab-to-clinic, with clinical trials for bone substitutes and cartilage repair. Over 15 patents highlight innovations like silanized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose hydrogels and calcium phosphate cements.
Publications focus on biomaterial mechanics, stem cell applications, and in vivo testing of regenerative therapies. Awards and recognitions align with his contributions to biomaterials innovation and interdisciplinary research.
Advising includes mentoring students in biomaterials and tissue engineering. Grants supported large-scale studies on bone regeneration and material development. The LIOAD lab collaborates across disciplines, including materials science, biochemistry, and clinical practice.
