applications

stem cell research

We provide coatings tailored for pluripotency maintenance, proliferation, patterning or differentiation.

drug development

Our fully synthetic and chemically characterized coatings enable robust culture of various cell types commonly used in drug development.

tissue models

A variety of tissue models can be recreated on our coatings, providing advantages in model maintainance time, clarity of results and repeatable outcomes.

diagnostics

Our modular matrices are currently developed for use as selective expansion of cancer stem cells from heterogenous tissue extracts, with possible applications as diagnostic tools.

cell based therapies

FDA approved compounds in our coatings enable their use as cell expansion platforms.

coating medical devices

A challenging aspect of the application of internal medical devices is the biological interface with the body. Our chemically defined matrices permit the incorporation of bioactive compounds, and of tuning biological responses .
