Projects

3D temperature mapping critical to understanding the nanoworld (ThermoRise 2)

PartnerEuropean Comission
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a lim...

Full human-based multi-scale constructs with jammed regenerative pockets for bone engineering (REBORN)

PartnerEuropean Comission
Engineered bone tissue has been viewed as a potential alternative to the traditional use of bone grafts, due to their limitless supply and no disease transmission. However, bone tissue engineering practices have not proceeded to clinical practice as it was not yet possible to fully recreate the right conditions to produce relevant large vascular...
