Biomaterials Design for biomedical engineering
Microenvironments for biophysics and tissue/disease models. This research aims at engineering innovative architectured microenvironments and 3D scaffolds that mimic living tissues to (i) study fundamental biology of cells and tissues and (ii) investigate human diseases and potential therapies in vitro.
Biomaterials for tissue regeneration (bone, muscle, soft tissue,…) and medical devices (prostheses, orthoses,…). We continue developing and valorizing biomaterials for accelerating and enhancing functional recovery after surgery, cancer, or in malformation’s treatments.
Multi-scale characterization of biomaterials and tissues/organs. We seek to promote the development and use of appropriate techniques for characterizing biomaterials, living tissues and their interface, either in- or ex-vivo, such as mechanical testing and modeling, tomography or microscopy.
Architectures of nanomaterials for biosensors. Based on an emerging expertise of the different partners, this new research theme aims at architecturing nanomaterials to obtain nanowire networks for label-free detection of biomolecules (e.g. DNA, proteins).
