European ComissionCoordinator
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a limiting fac...A bioprinting platform for the rapid, reliable, controlled and quantifiable patterning of cellular aggregatesand microtissues into macroscale regenerative grafts with programmable architectures (m2M)
European ComissionPartner
A fundamental limitation with current approaches aiming to bioprint tissues and organs is an inability to generate constructs with truly biomimetic composition and structure, resulting in the development of engineered tissues that cannot execute their specific function in vivo. This is perhaps unsurprising, as many tissues and organs co...A Pan-European Solid-State NMR Infrastructure for Chemistry-Enabling Access (PANACEA)
