Cell and Tissue Engineering

3d rendering of Human nerve cells

We are engineering living cells and tissues to enhance their viability and functions, for use in regenerative medicine. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches, and we exploit various aspects of cells and tissue, including genetics, biochemistry, biomechanics and biomagnetics.
