Biofabrication

Computer-aided cell arrangement to create 3D tissue structures for medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.

Bioprinting – the computer-controlled printing of cells and extracellular matrices - applies additive manufacturing processes to living materials, enabling structured cell arrangements in artificial 3D tissue structures.

In cooperation with other HLS Institutes, we develop processes which apply this technology in the fields of medical, pharmaceutical and environmental technology. In future these organic structures could serve as artificial tissue, even as substitutes for entire human organs, or could function as synthetic model systems to replace animal experiments in the development of new active substances.
