As an independent research institute, we combine materials science, process technology and extensive biological investigations in a wide range of activities from direct problem solving to fundamental research work. Our main concern is to maintain and improve people’s health. Together with our interdisciplinary team, we research, analyze and develop solutions to questions from science and industry.<\/p>\n\n

Biomaterials und Regenerative Medicine<\/h2>\n\n

We research novel materials that are used as biomaterials<\/a> especially in regenerative medicine<\/a>. We are pioneers in the 3D printing of bone and combine ceramic and polymer to treat cartilage defects.<\/p>\n\n

3D-printed and digital planning models<\/h2>\n\n

We are developing models for the simulation and planning of clinical interventions in several projects. In doing so, we are pushing the boundaries of 3D printing. We use special methods to convert medical data and create digital models.<\/p>\n\n

Additive Manufacture<\/h2>\n\n

Every patient is individual – which is why additive manufacturing<\/a> processes are particularly useful in medicine. We have been involved from the beginning. In the EU project INKplant<\/a>, we are developing new standards together with a large international consortium. We use these for our work at DIN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Cell lab and in vitro testing<\/h2>\n\n

All medical solutions must be tested in contact with life – we carry out in vitro<\/em> tests in our cell laboratory. From developing new standards in biocompatibility<\/a> testing to elaborate 3D tissue models that can be used to research complex scientific questions without animal testing<\/a>, we work on new innovations every day. Tissue engineering<\/a> and bioplotting are important tools in this process.<\/p>\n\n

S2-Lab for Virus und Bacteria Research<\/h2>\n\n

Our latest project since 2020 is the BSL-2<\/a> virus and bacteria laboratory, in which we test antibacterial and antiviral materials and methods. During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been able to demonstrate the antiviral effect of important medicines, materials and procedures.<\/p>\n\n

Here, too, we are creating innovations: in addition to standard procedures, we have developed a spray of (harmless) real coronaviruses to realistically simulate the transmission path. In our latest project, we now want to investigate how well which masks really protect when they are worn on different faces.<\/p>\n\n

Support our work<\/h2>\n\n

Not all projects are publicly funded and we do not receive any basic funding or state support. Help us to maintain independent research and support us with a donation. All donations are used for scientific research and are tax-deductible (in Germany).<\/p>\n
