Soft Tissue Group

ĦObject

We are developing the research works related with ÒTissue EngineeringÓ which is one of the most important basic technology for Hybrid Artificial Organs, using living cells and tissue. And for this purpose, the highly functional biomaterials are also investigated.

ĦResults in Fiscal Year

1. Research on Tissue Engineering

(…³) Artificial vessel graft of porous materials

(…´) Cell culture plates of porous materials

(…µ) Hybrid organs and functional bioreactors of porous materials

2. Research on Biomaterials
