Katharina Maniura

Biointerfaces Lab, Empa – Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Science and Technology, St. Gallen, Switzerland

After completing her graduate chemistry studies at the Philipps-University in Marburg, Germany, she received her PhD at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, where she carried out research on mitochondrial diseases. This was followed by postdoctoral studies in Physiology departments of the Universities of Heidelberg and Cologne (Germany) on mitochondrial biogenesis.
At Empa, the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Technology in 2002, she directs the research activities on biointerfaces with a team of 30 researchers. The scientific interest is on biomaterials, biointerfaces, surface modification, cell scaffold materials and the characterization of the biological response to materials. Her team develops microphysiological and microbiological in vitro models to drive the understanding of interactions between biological systems and materials at the molecular and cellular level. Biointerfaces and biomaterials are generated synthesis, surface modification and biological functionalisation aiming to steer the biological response to materials and to develop novel healthcare solutions.
Katharina Maniura is affiliated with ETH ZĂźrich as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology. She has served as president of the Swiss Society for Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine from 2015 to 2017.
