Mauro Alini receives TERMIS-EU Career Achievement Award

Mauro Alini, vice director of the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), was honored with a Career Achievement Award at the 2023 Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS)-EU Conference in Manchester, England, on March 29, 2023. This prestigious award recognizes Alini's long-term, landmark contributions to the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field—work he has carried forward at ARI for over twenty years.

The award conveys significant value for Alini: "It makes me consider that what I did in my career has some meaning, some legacy." There is no doubt about this, as Alini has published 330 papers and 14 book chapters, registered 7 patents, and grown a lab at ARI from a team of 3 scientists to what is now a team of 60 scientists focused on cartilage, bone, and intervertebral disc tissue engineering. Alini's dynamic career has been recognized through awards, invited lectures, and his association with multiple international orthopedic research societies. He continues to deliver leading orthopedic research through his work with ARI, as Editor-in-Chief of JOR Spine, and as an editorial board member of multiple journals, including the eCM Journal.
