Our scientists come from a variety of fields to move our discoveries toward being accessible to those who could benefit from them. Rather than silos, these five focus areas are points of convergence and intersection for our multidisciplinary teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health care technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We develop innovative medical device technologies, therapy-biomaterial combinations and digital assisted surgical practices to combat life-threatening diseases and traumatic injuries. For example, we are designing medical device technology for non-viral delivery of nucleic acids and anionic small molecules for genetic therapies in cancer, chronic wounds and bone regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our technology platforms aim to restore normal function and optimize surgical procedures and other interventions to achieve high-precision, tailored drug delivery with minimal invasiveness, improve patient care and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sustainable manufacturing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Biodesign Europe - Sustainable Manufacturing\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ad0-q3IqPSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We develop next generation materials-manufacturing systems relating to biotech, biopharma and medtech industry to drive efficiency, selectivity and productivity, which are underpinned by computational modeling and artificial intelligence or machine learning integration.
