Research area
I am a passionate, entrepreneurial driven mechanical engineer and researcher who pivoted into the field of bone tissue engineering, after learning for 4 years the magic of scalable, flame-made nanoparticles and their processing into nanocomposites. After changing my focus, I used my previous work to develop a framework for rapid and rigorous in vitro assessment of nanocomposite bone scaffolds by time-lapsed micro-CT imaging in dynamic compression bioreactors. I apply my obtained knowledge to establish a deep-tech platform for materials development of bone scaffolds and organoids for research in diseased bone treatments as well as drug development. My goal is to accelerate the translation of such research into our society by offering a unique, high value service or to develop implants that directly improve the treatment outcomes for patients.
Master students interested in projects in one of the above topics or materials researchers interested in testing their scaffolds, or materials within the scope mentioned above are welcome to contact me.
Gian Nutal Schädli is a Postdoc and Project Leader at the Laboratory of Bone Biomechanics. He studied Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich and received his BSc as well as MSc degrees in 2013 and 2015; he succesfully defended his PhD Thesis in May 2021 on a framework for time-lapsed micro-CT imaging of nanocomposite scaffolds in dynamic compression bioreactors.
