The scope of Functional and Integrative Tissue Generation Center (FITGC) includes:
- Research on functional cell-biomaterial interactions and multicellular interactions for directed cell regulation based on biomaterial science and cell biology/physiology;
- Development of enabling technologies for engineering cell organization and tissue function employing real-time biosensing to promote longevity and functional outcomes while enabling biomanufacturing in a scalable and reproducible manner;
- Translation of innovation in integration to generate reproducible, scalable, functional cell/tissue/organoid products for biological studies, drug testing, cell therapy and regenerative medicine.
