Send us Fan Mail For decades, women undergoing mastectomy have largely faced the same choice: reconstruct with permanent implants or use tissue transplanted from another part of the body. But what if there was a third option - not replacing what's been lost, but actually regenerating it? Today we're exploring one of the most ambitious ideas in regenerative medicine: a 3D-bioprinted scaffold designed to help the body rebuild living tissue. Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz, MD, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized surgeon-scientist, regenerative medicine innovator, and Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Conexeu Sciences ( ). With a career spanning plastic surgery, wound healing, tissue engineering, and extracellular matrix biology, she has dedicated more than two decades to understanding how the body repairs itself - and how that knowledge can be translated into next-generation therapies. Dr. Chavez-Munoz earned her MD from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, completed her Ph.D. in Plastic Surgery at the University of British Columbia, and pursued postdoctoral training in tissue engineering and reconstructive surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
