Oct 27, 2021

Once again, UPC leads the ranking of industrial doctoral projects in Catalonia, with 27 projects (out of 96) developed in 2020, including that of PhD student Linh Johansson, led by BBT and the company Mimetis Biomaterials.

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya leads, for the 8th consecutive year, the ranking of industrial doctorates in Catalonia, according to statistics published on the website of the Generalitat's Doctorats Industrials.

Since the launch of the program in 2012, the UPC has consolidated itself as the leader of the Industrial Doctorate in our country, with 209 projects, out of a total of 694 awarded by Generalitat until 2020.

In 2020, the UPC leads 27 industrial research projects, out of the 96 developed (more than 28% of the total). Among these 27 projects, we find the thesis of PhD student Linh Johansson, who is working on the "Development of 3D-printed patient-specific, synthetic and biomimetic bone substitutes for load bearing applications", under the supervision of Dr. Maria-Pau Ginebra (BBT) and Dr. Yago Raymond (Mimetis Biomaterials).
