William Salvador is a PhD student in the field of bioengineering, focused on the development of novel production strategies for human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and their derivatives. He holds an MSc in Biomedical Engineering from NOVA School of Science and Technology and is undertaking his PhD at Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon. By combining bioprocess economic modeling and bioreactor-based stem cell culture, he seeks to develop large-scale and cost-efficient methods for the expansion of hiPSCs and the production of hiPSC-derived extracellular vesicles, which will help bring their therapeutic applications closer to routine clinical practice.
