NTNU Tissue Engineering
By merging advanced engineering of materials with molecular and cellular biology we aim to make significant contributions to this technology.
Research activity
Tissue engineering is the combination of cellular biology, engineering and materials methods to produce new tissues or organs that can be implanted in for example a human or be used as separate structures for a whole range of R&D purposes as well as clinical purposes. This is a field which requires the concerted efforts of a whole range of competences, and NTNU is in the process of taking advantage of its transdisciplinary culture and broad competence profile to develop a strong and focused R&D programme in the area.
We are in particular focused on the engineering of tissue through the structuring and tailoring of mechanical and biological properties of hydrogels important for materials and cells interaction, modeling of tissue mechanics and engineering of microreactors and chips for the in vitro study of tissue and organ models.
