CONFERENCEHead of the laboratory: Dr. Maksym Pogorielov
The Advanced Biomaterials and Biophysics (Bioiterface) Laboratory aims to develop innovative materials and technologies at the interface of biology and physics, addressing critical challenges in regenerative medicine, antimicrobial resistance, and advanced diagnostics. By leveraging cutting-edge nanomaterials, bioinorganic hybrid systems, and biophysical tools, the laboratory seeks to enhance understanding and application of biointerfaces and biomaterials for improved healthcare outcomes.
Main directions of scientific work:
- development of advanced biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine,
- exploration of biointerfaces, with focus on biomaterials and 2D materials,
- elaboration of new strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance,
- development and assessment of novel anticancer technologies,
- biophysical characterisation of nanomaterials and biological tissue.
Promotional activities
Researchers' Night 'Step into the laboratory of future medicine!' 25 September 2026
Visitors had the opportunity to learn about a range of research projects in medicine, biotechnology, materials science and tissue regeneration. These projects explore new ways to treat infections, promote wound healing, improve cancer treatment, regenerate damaged tissues and develop innovative biomaterials for medical applications.

NAP2026 konference
No 6. līdz 11. septembrim LU EZTF ASI Uzlaboto biomateriālu un biofizikas laboratorijas projektu vadītāja Inga Šīrante piedalījās NAP2026 konferencē Budvā, Melnkalnē https://ieeenap.org/moments/.
Konferences laikā tika pieņemts un izziņots lēmums nākamo NAP2027 konferenci rīkot Latvijā, un Latvijas Universitāte būs viens no konferences līdzorganizatoriem kopā ar IEEE Nanotechnology Council, Sumy State University, Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmiju un Elektronikas un datorzinātņu institūtu (EDI). Vairāk par šo konferenci var lasīt https://ieeenap.org/welcome-message/
Līdztekus tradicionālajai konferences programmai, NAP2027 paredzēts arī īpašs simpozijs, kas būs veltīts MXene materiāliem. Tas sniegs iespēju popularizēt arī Apvārsnis Eiropa projektu rezultātus. Vairāk par šo var lasīt https://ieeenap.org/symposium/
Konferences laikā tika pārrunātas arī vairākas potenciālās sadarbības iespējas starp LU EZTF ASI Uzlaboto biomateriālu un biofizikas laboratorijas un materiālzinātnes pētniekiem.
