Current research projects

Fetal surgery is a cross‑disciplinary field that requires advanced tissue regeneration, complex human models, inflammation control, functional vascularization, immune integration, and the harmonious reconstruction of the structures that make tissues vital and fully functional.
Our research projects include work dedicated to fetal repair of spina bifida, with a focus on achieving stable and functional reconstruction of the developing spine. Alongside this central line of investigation, we explore how immune, endothelial, and stromal cells cooperate in tissue regeneration, using advanced human models and bioengineered systems to clarify the immuno‑vascular signals that regulate inflammation, angiogenesis, and skin repair. Additional studies address complementary themes such as melanocytic transformation and melanoma risk, neuro‑vascular interactions in nerve regeneration, and the role of hair follicles in tissue organization.
