Dr. Kajtez is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Experimental Medical Science at Lund University. He obtained his PhD in bioengineering from Technical University of Denmark where he worked on novel bio-fabrication and biomaterial methods for the modelling and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. During his PhD, he developed a composite granular gel system that mimics native brain environment and allows embedded 3D printing of functional stem cell-derived neural constructs. Currently he is working on an injectable microgel platform for direct 3D reprogramming of adult somatic cells into neurons that would pave the way for personalized cell replacement therapy for brain repair.
