The department Biohybrid Systems is representing a collaborating network in the R&D field of biotechnology, biohybrid micro- and nanotechnology. An interdisciplinary acting team of molecular and cellular biologists, pharmacists, biophysicists and engineers develops novel modules for automation, parallelization and synchronization of analytical processes in life sciences at the interface of biotechnology, microsystems and sensor systems. The groups Cell based Sensors & Biomonitoring and Molecular Cell & Tissue Engineering with its resources Experimental Cytogenetics and Biocompatibility realize the development of cell- and tissue based biosensors, drug delivery systems, microimplants, transplants and gene therapies for implementation in neuroscience, cardio-vascular and cancer research. The department focuses biomolecular R&D, consulting and the interface of a biotechnological network providing novel, innovative, biohybrid modules (biohybrid technology; e.g. screening and diagnostic modules).
