New Research Group: Construction of Tissue in Laboratory
The focus lies on complex sound fields and their interaction with particles and cells
An interdisciplinary research group combining mechanical engineering and biotechnology has taken up its work at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM) of Heidelberg University. The team under the direction of Dr Kai Melde will pursue an innovative approach to biofabrication - 3D cell culture using ultrasound. Tools are being developed that can be used as an alternative to or enhancement for 3D printing. The rapid fabrication of specific tissues in the laboratory is expected to help gain new insights on tissue development and support developing new medications and studying their modes of action. ...TO READ THIS ARTICLE, CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT
