Soft Granular Matter and Tissue Engineering

Research group no. 19

Soft Granular Matter and Tissue Engineering

Group leader

Research topics

In the group we study soft granular materials - in particular dense emulsions, foams and microhydrogels - for applications in fabrication of complex microcapsules and scaffolds for 3D cell culture. We use microfluidics to generate and control such structures. We develop new techniques of 3D printing using biomaterials, including printing of granular or porous structures, and techniques of 3D cell- and tissue culture in vitro.
