Materials & Cell Technologies

We work at the interface of biology, materials science, and chemical engineering to expand our understanding of tissue and organ physiology, and to develop innovative biomaterials, devices, and cell-based technologies that enable advanced therapeutic treatments.

The multidisciplinary teams of the Materials & Cell Technologies research theme combine expertise in biology, medicine, and biomaterials. These diverse skills and perspectives enable us to investigate the physiology of healthy and diseased tissues and organs, and then engineer materials and technologies that can work alongside those natural systems to treat, support, replace, repair and regenerate parts of the body damaged by illness or injury.

Other research areas

Bionics, Biomechanics & Biomechatronics

Combining expertise in biology, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, we pioneer ground-breaking medical technologies, including wearable and implantable devices, prostheses, medical and surgical robots and instruments, and devices for human-machine interactions.

Digital Medicine & Digital Biology

Harnessing the power of information and computer technologies, we cultivate new medical and biological methods and tools to support improvements in diagnosis, monitoring and treatment, and help unlock the potential of a more connected healthcare system.

Biosensing & Imaging

We bring together experts in biophysics, chemical engineering and electrical engineering to work on projects that drive advances in diagnostic technology, resulting in earlier and more accurate detection of disease, and more effective treatments for patients.
