Dr. Nebu George Thomas is a professor in periodontics and a scientist in charge of Stem cell and tissue engineering lab at Pushpagiri Research Centre and a senior consultant in the field of regenerative periodontal surgery and dental implantology. His research mainly focuses on tissue engineering, cell engineering, periodontal regeneration, bone remodelling, and wound healing. He successfully developed bioactive and smart' injectable biomaterial systems that dynamically interact with the implantation site to elicit regeneration within hard and soft tissues. He has expertise in the synthesis and characterization of 3D-printed bioactive glass/polylactic acid composite for bone regeneration, which is currently in progress. Also, he got expertise in animal models for assessing tissue integration and regenerative potential of various scaffolds making use of nanoscience and nanotechnology approaches.
