Bioreactors and Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of engineering, and biology and medicine. BSEL is seeking to provide integrated solutions to tissue engineering problems to develop suitable scaffolds and culture systems from models that are experimentally validated to account for the perfusion (flow) and transport of nutrients, growth factors, and metabolites. We seek to develop suitable scaffolds and culture systems for a variety of applications ranging from bone marrow, bone, cartilage, pneumocytes, and cardiomyocytes, as well as develop ex vivo models for disease states, such as leukaemia.
