• Insight into interactions of cells and biomaterials (influence of different material properties like surface chemistry, topography, elasticity, roughness, etc. on primary cells) • Development of tailormade, cell type specific biomaterials as substrates for cell culture and 3D-matrices for tissue engineering, with a special focus on soft tissue replacement • New cell- or tissue-based testsystems for evaluating biomaterials • Discussion and definition of strategies for the use of biomaterials in tissue engineering • Exchange of information with other working groups • Initiation of collaborations, publications and joint research proposals between industry, university and non-university institutions
