Funded Activity Summary

Engineering micropatterned surfaces for cell mechanics and mechanobiology. This project aims to engineer a highly versatile micropatterned surface that can be used to culture and study cells. This project expects to generate a unique microtechnology, as well as new knowledge in surface science and cell mechanics by elucidating the relationship between controlled surface wettability and cell behaviour. The expected outcomes of this project include a low-cost and highly engineered tissue culture tool that controls cellular functions, revolutionising practices in stem cell engineering. The platform technology has a great potential for commercialisation and enhancing Australian research capacity through international and interdisciplinary collaborations and will directly benefit the Australian biotech industry.
