Metrology on a cellular scale for regenerative medicine
Short Name: Regenmed, Project Number: T2.J04Regenerative medicine deals with two key challenges: to improve the isolation of cells from cell cultures and to ensure that any handling procedures do not have an advers effect on their behaviour.
The project represents a major international co-operation on measurement techniques as applied to regenerative medicine. This will be achieved through research on a combination of imaging, biomarker detection and studies of protein and cell behaviour on surfaces. The project established measurement methods for generating and interpreting 3D functional maps of surfaces and cell cultures.
The technologies developed are important for a wide range of health related sectors, including diagnostics, cell based sensing and toxicology testing and opportunities for cross-over knowledge transfer.
