Material Bioresponse
The understanding of Polymer-life interfaces needs high resolution, highly sensitive characterization methods originating from biology, chemistry, physics, material sciences, pharmacy and medicine being not present in a single lab today. We will create a new Core Facility, the integrative laboratory “Materials Bioresponses”, called platform, embedding virtually and physically characterization technologies from all the disciplines above, being managed and financed by the cluster. This will enable the cluster to crucially improve the impact our of research by bridging faculty borders and by enhancing invention cycles.
