HORIZONTAL PROGRAMMES

•
Stamping dies repeatedly from various composites to study the behaviours of
cells or other elements given these situations; implant integration assays; proto-

typing and manufacturing micro/nano arrays of electrodes for implants.

• Growth of materials on surfaces improving the bio-electronic interface in recor-

ding biomonitoring signals

•
Producing micro-/nano-structures present in microelectronic devices and surface
characterization

General Objective
To provide characterization services for materials, biological tissues and nanosystems

developed in intramural projects and within CIBER-BBN groups.

Purpose and This platform provides characterization support for the materials obtained in the Mate-
rial Production Platform, among others. Its functions are:
functionality

•
Characterization of the functional behaviour of 2D and 3D constructions as tissue
scaffolds from the mechanical, structural and microstructural point of view.

• Morphological and mechanical-structural characterization of biological tissues

•
Characterization of the surface composition and structure of materials and biolo-

gical solutions (containing bioactive factors or cells).

•
Real time in vitro and ex vivo study of cell and tissue behaviour, respectively, in

response to the potential therapeutic agents identified, as well as to identify and

locate the targets of said agents

• Characterization of intermolecular interactions, material functionalization quality
control
13
•
Conducting the in vitro and in vivo toxicological studies necessary for assuring 20
T
that the new materials are innocuous.
