Franz E. Weber is an extraordinary professor at the Center for Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, specializing in craniofacial oral biotechnology. His research interests are centered around cranio-maxillofacial oral surgery, particularly in the challenges posed by mandible substitution and tumor resections. His laboratory focuses on the development of new osteoconductive bone substitute materials and the combination of these materials with osteoinductive bone morphogenetic proteins and epigenetically active small molecules. Weber aims to unravel the essence of osteoconduction, an important driving force in bone regeneration, through the design and production of ceramic-based scaffolds employing additive manufacturing techniques. His work also includes developing a range of degradable polylactide-based materials and hydrogels, as well as producing patient-specific titanium ceramic scaffolds via 3D printing. Furthermore, he investigates pulp regeneration using a combination of natural and synthetic hydrogels to extend the lifetime of teeth. Weber has authored several significant publications in the field, highlighting the application and influence of microarchitecture in osteoconduction and bone regeneration.
