The "Tissues" area aims to engineer functional tissues to repair, replace, or support damaged biological structures as well as to provide in vitro models to support biology, pathology, or pharmacology research. We foster a multidisciplinary approach that feeds on the expertise developed in our "Cells" and "Technologies" areas of research. Combining advanced biomaterials, sophisticated cell culture techniques, and innovative assembly strategies, our members engineer tissues for a wide range of clinical challenges. These engineered tissues are evaluated in translational models to develop reliable, long-lasting tissue substitutes that improve patient outcomes in reconstructive and regenerative surgeries.
