Biography
Aima Ghouri is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Space Technology with research interests in biomaterials, natural polymer-based hydrogels, and regenerative medicine for biomedical and tissue engineering applications.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in the development and characterization of biomaterials for biomedical and tissue engineering applications, with a particular focus on natural polymer-based hydrogels and bioinks. I am interested in the chemical modification and crosslinking of polysaccharides to tailor their rheological, mechanical, and printability properties for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. Additionally, I am interested in sustainable and low-cost biomaterials that can be sourced locally and applied in wound healing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Through interdisciplinary research, I aim to contribute to the design of functional, biocompatible, and scalable biomaterials for advanced healthcare applications.
