Tissue engineering for cartilage- and bone repair

The research group brings together expertise in biomaterials, biomedicine and orthopedic surgery to develop new methods to support the healing of damaged cartilage and bone tissue. The goal is to understand how different bioresorbable materials can be optimized in terms of properties and structure to support the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells or chondrocytes into these tissues.

External researchers in the research group:
