Institute of Active Polymers

The focus of the institute is on information-based design of functions in polymer-based material systems and their interactions with living systems, mediated at biointerfaces. A mechanistic understanding of these (bio)materials in their application-dependent environment is made possible by the comprehensive acquisition of large data sets from multiscale, correlative analyses and subsequent computer-aided modeling - from materials to medical devices. In collaboration with clinical partners, the knowledge gained is implemented with a translational focus in the field of health technologies and regenerative medicine.
