100000
STUDENTS IN 2065

Vision

To reach out to students, trainees and young professionals, to support them in their full development and to encourage them to use their skills and knowledge in their various fields to fulfil God's good plans for humanity.

Elisabeth Ekoh

She is a Biomedical Engineer and dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ. She completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering at Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL), consistently demonstrating academic excellence. During her undergraduate studies, Elisabeth developed a strong interest in biomaterials, which became the focus of her Bachelor’s thesis. Her research centered on the development of biocompatible mixtures for the 3D printing of biomedical devices. Completed in July 2022, this work received an outstanding final mark of 19 out of 20. It was subsequently presented at the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Applied Sciences and published in Engineering Proceedings, with her as first author (https://doi.org/10.3390/ASEC2022-13760). She pursued a Master’s thesis focused on the fabrication of metallic scaffolds for bone regeneration, which she successfully defended in December 2024, again earning a final mark of 19 out of 20. This work was presented at the 3rd International Congress on Materials and Nanomaterials, further highlighting her engagement with the scientific community. In December 2024, Elisabeth was awarded a competitive research grant at the Biomaterials Research Group of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) within the FCT-funded Milk4WoundCare project (2022.03408.PTDC). Selected from 15 candidates through a rigorous evaluation process, she began working on the development of biomimetic platforms for chronic wound care using milk waste, contributing to sustainable and translational biomedical innovation. Her research on electrospun nanofiber-based wound dressings has already resulted in a first-author publication in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2025.126320). During this period, she actively participated in several scientific events, including CQE Days, the 7th Congress of the Egas Moniz Center of Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), ICOE 2025, and IMS Day 2025. In September 2025, Elisabeth began her PhD in Bioengineering and Biosciences at IST with a thesis entitled Multifunctional Electroactive Hydrogels for Theragnostics of Chronic Wounds, continuing her work in developing advanced materials that integrate therapeutic and diagnostic functions for improved chronic wound management.

Winnie Saha

She earned her Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Dresden with a grade of 1.4, completing her studies within the standard period. During her studies, she worked as a tutor in several subjects and also supported many people through her involvement with Caritas and Stube. Thanks to her outstanding academic achievements, she was repeatedly recognized as one of the best international students in Saxony. Now a mother of two, she currently works as a project manager at Daimler and serves God together with her husband in southern Germany.
