CoEBoC 2018-2025
Together with five other research groups we form a Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research, CoEBoC. Funded by Academy of Finland, the multidisciplinary research consortium develops a new “Body-on-Chip” platform for modelling the function of human tissues and diseased states. Our role is to develop microfluidic chips and sensors to be used in the CoEBoC’s applications.
SUSBIO 2023-2028
Sustainable Biomedical and Toxicological Research (SUSBIO) is one of the profiling areas at Tampere University. It aims to develop novel sustainable soft materials and advanced in vitro methods for studying human physiology and simulating complex disease mechanisms. We are a part of the action.
ASEMO 2022-2026
ASEMO, funded by the Research Council of Finland, develops novel microfluidic technologies to study epilepsy, Our tasks include the development of compartmentalized oxygen control, measurement and perfusion to enable sophisticated studies on epileptic seizures using human induced pluripotent stem cell based neuronal models.
GIN 2022-2027
In collaboration with the University of Jyväskylä, we develop novel graphene-based neural interfaces for applications in neuroscience and neuroengineering. Our research addresses one of the major challenges of current neural technologies: the mechanical mismatch between rigid electronic devices and soft neural tissues. By utilizing the unique electrical, mechanical, and biocompatible properties of graphene, we develop flexible devices for recording and stimulating neural activity.
