About this Speaker
A/Prof Alfredo Franco-Obregón approaches tissue engineering and regeneration from a biophysical perspective, as an alternative to conventional pharmacological interventions. He is particularly interested in how electromagnetic and mechanical forces drive tissue regeneration. He leads the BICEPS (BioIonic Currents Electromagnetic Pulsing Systems) laboratory at the National University of Singapore and is actively investigating how magnetic fields promote mitochondrial respiration and downstream developmental and survival adaptations via a process known as Magnetic Mitohormesis. His key areas of interest are skeletal muscle development, cancer and stem cell biology, and is a thought leader in the application of electromagnetics and mechanobiology to tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and human healthy and longevity
