At the heart of CM2OST:
Four Technical & Research Development Projects
(TRD-1 to TRD-4)
TRD-1 to TRD-4
From control of cell phenotype and function (TRD-1), through development of smart scaffold (TRD2), and bio-instructive bioreactors (TRD-3), all the way to the integration and automation of the newly developed technologies (TRD-4), the Center offers a wrap-around approach.
TRD-1 covers dynamic control of cell phenotype and function during the manufacturing process, and development of tissue-specific sensors for dynamic non-invasive monitoring of cell phenotype and function.
TRD-2 integrates sensors and biosensors into scaffolds to measure/monitor cellular attachment and function.
TRD-3 develops bio-instructive bioreactors with integrated actuators and sensors for feedback control, and will physically integrate them with the Tissue Foundry, an ARMI prototype automated TEMP assembly line.
TRD-4 integrates sensors and actuators with the automation and data management system of the Tissue Foundry, and will perform a manufacturing demonstration run.
