Group Luttge
As part of the Mechanical Engineering department, our cross-disciplinary research group investigates and develops microsystems for medicine and biology with integrated bio-inspired functionality. We apply emerging and established micro-nanofabrication methods. The specific goal is to combine microfluidics with tissue engineering to create a realistic in vitro model of the brain, which can provide insights into both normal and disease-state function. To forward-engineer a living brain-on-chip from neuronal stem cells, we design, realize, test artificial micro-environments with a focus on their physiological relevance.
We focus on uncovering the design rules behind micro- and nanofabricated biohybrid systems to drive smarter, more impactful healthcare solutions.
As part of the Microsystems section, we designs microsystems for medicine and biology with a focus on brain research. We develop and study micro-nanofabrication methods to devise miniaturized in vivo-like brain models using neuronal stem cell in culture and study new applications of this so called brain-on-a-chip technologies.
