The project:
"Bioactive materials, cell and tissue printing: New therapeutic approaches for organ level tissue engineering and regenerative medicine" was selected as one of the new "Emerging Fields" funded projects.
Partners in this cooperation are:
Prof. A. R. Boccaccini, (Institute of Biomaterials), Project Coordinator
Dr. R. Detsch (Institute of Biomaterials),
Prof. R. Horch, (Plastisch- und Handchirurgische Klinik)
Dr. U. Kneser, (Plastisch- und Handchirurgische Klinik)
Prof. C. Alexiou, (Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Klinik)
Prof. C. Garlichs (Medizinische Klinik 2),
Prof. B. Fabry (Center for Medical Physics and Technology)
Prof. O. Friedrich (Lehrstuhl für Medizinische Biotechnologie).
The aim of this project is to establish a multidisciplinary research consortium at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, to develop complex, functional tissues and organs based on smart combinations of bioactive materials, cells and tissue printing. The approach relies on the combination of novel (nano)biomaterials, which will be shaped and micro-structured using innovative rapid prototyping techniques in conjunction with “cell printing” methods (bioprocessing). The ultimate goal is to engineer a range of organ-specific 3D tissues with a pre-formed functional vascular capillary bed and vascular trees such that large tissue lesions can be repaired with short healing time.
