Marta Cerruti is a Professor in Materials Engineering at McGill University. Her research focuses on the interfacial phenomena of biomaterials, particularly the material surfaces that interact with the body upon implantation. The research investigates how surface regions of materials absorb biological components, influencing the fate of implants. Dr. Cerruti employs spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to modify material surfaces to enhance their integration with surrounding tissues. Her work includes studying the deposition of natural and synthetic materials on physiological tissues, such as bones and teeth, and addressing pathological situations like cardiovascular calcification. She also explores drug delivery mechanisms, teaching students how to modify surfaces for targeted drug delivery systems that adhere strongly to tissues. A significant portion of her research revolves around graphene-based materials, utilizing their vast surface area for applications in bone tissue engineering and water splitting.
