Tissue Engineering

Background

The group "TE" aims at developing three dimensional regenerative bone tissues for clinical applications. A special focus lies on the osteogenic differentiation and the impact of hypoxia in 3D tissues.

Current Projects

  1. In vivo performance of tissue engineered constructs
  2. Hypoxia and 3D culture
  3. Axial prevascularisation of tissue engineered constructs
