RESEARCH
The research and training of doctoral candidates in the Doctoral School BioMatInt is performed applying a highly interdisciplinary approach, bridging biology and fundamental research for medical applications with technology and legal considerations.
The faculty covers expertise in four major scientific disciplines:
- Cell culture and tissue engineering,
- Biophysics and materials science (including modelling and simulation),
- Chemistry and enzymology,
- Law and technology governance
Specifically, the following research areas are addressed:
- implant surface patterning and functionalization
- biosensors
- theranostic wound dressings, drug delivery and imaging
- characterization and modelling of cell – biomaterial interactions
- 3D tissue cultures and tailored scaffolds
- biofilm and multi-resistant pathogen development and prevention
- mechanical performance of implant materials
- tissue reactions and structural changes
- governance of emerging technologies and smart regulation
