Dr. Sahar Salehi-Müller is the leader of the research group “Tissue engineering materials” at the Department of Biomaterials at the University of Bayreuth, Germany studying the biomedical applications of natural and synthetic materials. In particular, her projects are focused on tissue engineering of different musculoskeletal tissues such as bone, tendon, skeletal muscle, and other soft tissues such as cornea. She received her PhD. degree from Isfahan University of Technology in Iran in 2013 for her studies on development of nanofibrous scaffolds for cornea tissue engineering with previous degrees (BSc. and MSc.) in Materials Science and Engineering. During her PhD, she was a recipient of German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship in 2011, which allowed her to broaden her PhD project as a visiting researcher at the German Textile Research Institute (DTNW) and University Hospital of Essen, Germany. Prior to the start of her current position in April, 2017 she worked in the Khademhosseini Laboratory (http://www.tissueeng.net/lab/) at Japan’s World Premier International-Advanced Institute of Materials Research (WPI-AIMR) situated within Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. There, her research topic was injectable and biodegradable materials for skeletal muscle tissue engineering.
