About

How do cells work on the nanoscale and how do they interact with their nanostructured environment These questions are driving my research on the following topics: - Nanofibrous composite biomaterials - Biopolymer nanofibers as synthetic extracellular matrix - Synthetic cell systems from lipid vesicles - Integrin-mediated adhesion of minimal cells - Nanoporous aluminium oxide as biointerface Find out more via https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/biophysik/groups/brueggemann
