BiS is part of the Biomedical Engineering Department at TU/e. Research at BiS is dedicated to understanding and applying basic cell biological principles at the biointerfaces especially for regenerative medicine. The research program is characterized by a holistic approach to both discovery and application, aiming at combining high throughput technologies, computational modeling and experimental cell biology to streamline the wealth of biological knowledge to real clinical applications.
Cell biology, computational approaches, and material development are the three key fields of science that we focus our research on at BiS. To find out more, have a look here:

Have a look at this recent article, if you want to know how surface arhitectures can affect cell behaviour.
The ability to control the interaction between functional biomaterials and biological systems is of great importance for tissue engineering. Using natural surfaces as templates for bioinspired design can stimulate progress in the field of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and materials science. This collaborative literature review article aims to combine the state of the art knowledge in natural and artificial surfaces, with an emphasis on material properties known to affect cell behaviour.
A link to this article will be added soon, once it is avaliable online.
