About
What we aim to do
Support the development, standardisation and uptake of advanced human-relevant biomedical platforms by aligning 3D tissue engineering, biomaterials and biophysical stimulation with reproducible fabrication protocols.
What we can contribute
-
Advanced 3D tissue fabrication, including bioprinting, bio-inks and biomaterial-based scaffolds enabling controlled and reproducible cellular microenvironments
-
Material and biophysical engineering (electrical, mechanical, magnetic cues) to create physiologically relevant and tunable tissue contexts
-
Design of bioreactors and fabrication workflows supporting robustness, comparability and cross-site implementation of complex 3D tissue systems
-
Contribution to best practices, reference protocols and quality attributes for advanced 3D human tissue platforms used in biomedical research and translation
Partners we are looking for
Research infrastructures, technology developers, standardisation and regulatory-oriented groups, and academic or industrial users of advanced 3D human tissue platforms.
