Precision Medicine
Precision medicine, sometimes known as "personalized medicine" is an innovative approach to tailoring disease prevention and treatment that takes into account differences in people's genes, environments, lifestyles and injuries. At MET, we realise patient-specific implants by additive manufacturing and do research on organ-on-chip devices for drug development and basic medical research.
Below you can find the projects carried out by individual researchers within our Division that are addressing this global challenge:
Development of a 3D-printable and degradable polymeric material for composite implants
Biological response to degradation products from spinal implant materials
3D bioprinting of decellularized extracellular matrix-based hydrogels for tissue engineering
Development of bioadhesives using decellularized extracellular matrix hydrogels
Biological Characterization of Mg-based Alloys for Orthopedic Applications
Controlling the degradation rate of 3D printed Mg porous implants
Microfabrication of biomimetic vascular systems in organoids
On chip cytokine detection for personalised medicine
On chip TEER measurements for detection of cell proliferation and differentiation
Microfluidics for Life Science Applications
