The Research

Optical coherence tomography

Biofabrication of Tissue Engineered Constructs

Ongoing
OCT imaging was assessed using a model scaffold-cell system consisting of a polysaccharide-based hydrogel seeded with human Jurkat cells. Four test systems were used: hydrogel seeded with live cells, hydrogel seeded with heat-shocked or fixed dead cells and hydrogel without any cells. Time series

Bioprocessing Laboratory
