The tremendously developing technology has a strong impact on the medical sector. Therefore, bioengineering providing healthcare tools is rising as a new discipline.
The current project aims to develop three important platform technologies, which will support the eBio-hub Research Centre activity.
First, it targets to develop a platform technology to fabricate nanoparticles as nanocarriers using surface acoustic waves (SAW) generated in a microfluidic channel. The nanocarriers can be for drug and gene delivery.
A second platform technology is targeting a “tool” for the previously designed nanocarriers- microneedles patches developed in a personalized way using SAW and 3D printing.
The third platform technology is targeting 3D skin models for drug testing. The proposed technologies will engage PhD students, and a Post-Doctoral position will be created.
We believe that the developing platform technologies will be the “fundamental pillars” for the maturing eBio-hub research centre.
