Dr. Damiati is an associate professor in the College of Science at the University of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She received her PhD in tissue engineering from the University of Glasgow, UK, in 2020. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on tissue engineering, biomaterials, microbiology, and advanced manufacturing technologies. Her work investigates cellular interactions with micro- and nanotopographical materials, dynamic cell-responsive surfaces, 2D and 3D scaffolds, and growth factor-organizing interfaces. More recently, her research has focused on 3D-printed biomaterials and the role of scaffold architecture, porosity, and surface characteristics in regulating mammalian cell responses, bacterial adhesion, and biofilm formation. She is particularly interested in developing multifunctional and infection-resistant biomaterials for regenerative medicine and biomedical applications. Her research also explores sustainable functional materials, antimicrobial technologies, and innovative biomaterial strategies for biomedical and food-related applications.
