In the Neptun project, microimplants are being developed at the NMI for contacting nerve tissue in the abdominal cavity in order to realize controlled neurostimulation of the gastrointestinal tract. T
More than 10,000 patients were waiting for a donor organ at the beginning of 2018, around three quarters of them for a kidney. That is around three times as many people as transplants can be provided.
The goal of this collaborative project is to develop a novel, organ-like, 3D printed in vitro model of the proximal tubule in a microfluidic perfusable chip in a multi-well plate format for use in dru
The goal of the SEALANT project is to develop a new generation of thin-film-based hermetic encapsulation technology for miniaturized medical implants instead of the conventional bulky metal or glass h
The aim of the project is to develop a process and equipment technology for the customized molecular surface structuring of catheters that produces a superhydrophilic (water-loving) surface that preve
The overall goal of this project is to develop a self-healing, bio-inspired and functional hydrogel platform for next-generation 3D bioprinting. The project is inspired by supramolecular, biochemical
The aim of the Fiber4Ink project is to research a novel material platform for 3D bioprinting (a so-called bio-ink), which can be used to enable breakthrough innovations in the field of tissue engineer
Parkinson's disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease and an immense burden for patients and healthcare systems. Antibody-based clearing approaches pursued to date have t
