Biomaterials

Tissue Sealants and Adhesives

We develop stimuli-responsive materials for medical use, to seal wounds ​and aid in tissue regeneration.
​One specific interest is the design of compliant and elastic material alternatives. 

Soft Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

We design hydrogels and interpenetrating networks with controlled geometries
​and mechanical properties to aid in the 3D culture and regeneration of soft tissues.

Sustainable Plastics

Polymers from Biowaste

We aim to develop and define stimuli-responsive materials for biomimetic
​and medical applications, based on natural materials such as alginate and hyaluronic acid.

Drug Delivery

Controlled and Targeted Drug Delivery

We combine our unique hydrogels with conventional therapeutics to enhance disease treatment.
​We specialize in sustained local delivery and antibody targeting techniques.

Novel Cancer Treatments

We investigate the use of growth factors as intracellular
​signaling molecules for cell-selective non-toxic cancer treatments.

 We are grateful to the following sponsors, for completed and ongoing support. Without funding, our goals would not be achievable. ​Thank you.
