Microphysiological Systems
We are developing mechanostimulation chips that can mechanically stimulate single cells. Mechanotransduction pathways in the urinary tract are of special interest to us.
Soft microactuators and microrobotics
In this project we research on various soft microrobotics, used for development of medical devices such as steerable guide wires and catheters for minimal invasive surgery.
Electroactive surfaces and scaffolds
In this project we look into various dynamic surfaces to control cell adhesion, signalling, proliferation and stem cell differentiation.
Bionics and Transduction Science
