IBEC researcher Damien Lacroix has been awarded the “Jean Leray Award” for excellence in research on biomaterials

Damien Lacroix, group leader in research on Biomechanics and Mecanobiology at IBEC (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia) has been awarded a prize by the European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) for his innovative contributions in the field of biomaterials. Lacroix is distinguished by his studies of the interactions between mechanical stimuli and biomaterials for the improvement of medical devices in the field of tissue engineering. In particular, he develops models in silico to calculate these mechanical stimuli and to predict how tissues will form. The ESB presents the Jean Leray Award anually, to recognize and stimulate young scientists who have made excellent contributions to research on biomaterials. Damien Lacroix will receive the 2010 prize during the ESB conference, to be held in Finland in September this year.
