The Biomaterials research group is receiving approximately €1.3 million for the project “Additive Manufacturing of Hierarchically Structured 3D Scaffolds for Biomedical Applications and Bioanalytics” (Bi3DAN), funded by the EU Regional Development Fund (EFRE) through the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. In the funded project, a versatile platform is developed to enable the construction of stable and functional hierarchically structured scaffold matrices that can be individually customised, making them particularly suitable for personalised medicine. The scaffolds can also be modified and used in new biosensor systems due to their high sensitivity and precision. The project is led by the Biomaterials research group at the UBT, and is supported by SMEs from Bavaria (AMSilk, biovature, naddcon, Neue Materialien Bayreuth, PPprint), from across Germany (FoodQS, Senslab – EKF Diagnostics Company, Xolo), and from the cross-border Danube region (Fyscon/Czech Republic).
