Cells, Organoids and Biophysics

Cells & organoids

We are pursuing a number of research projects that involve biological cells and organoids. The following is a list with some current research questions and projects which we are working on. We also collaborate with a number of groups at the Heidelberg research campus as well as the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research:

• Methods to transfect cells with nanocarriers.
• Assembly of cells into user-defined organoids using physical fields.
• Stimulating cells with ultrasound.
• Penetration of tissue and cell assemblies with nanopropellers.
• Sonogenetics.
• Microtools to map cancer cells.
• Novel methods to grow tissues.
• Bioprinting of dense cellular structures.
