Development of novel biomaterials for medical applications
The core of this project is the design and fabrication of micro- and nano-engineered
interfaces that enhance the healing response of cells and tissues.
Keywords: Soft-Tissue Repair, Fibrosis, Wound Healing, Micro- and Nano-Technology, Biomedical
Engineering, Animal Experiments, Cell and Bacteria Culture
Inflammatory response and foreign body reaction follow the implantation of any medical device, prosthesis, or biomaterial in the human body. Next to harming patients they reduce therapy performances and often lead to device failure.
The creation of innovative interfaces with micro- and nano-scale patterns and details can enhance and control the healing response of cells and tissues.
Our research includes: animal experiments, cell and bacteria cultures, optical and scanning-electron microscopy, mechanical testing, mass transport studies, process engineering, micro- and nano-fabrication.

The aim of this research is the realization of valuable market products for healthcare,
with specific focus on soft-tissue repair, such as plastic reconstruction, tendon surgery,
wound care, and implantable medical devices.
