Schenke-Layland Lab
One group, two locations - bridging the gap between academia and industry
Our group has a strong and long-standing reputationfor designing new non-invasive methods for the monitoring of cells and tissues. In collaboration with physicists and clinicians, we concentrate on the application of multiphoton microscopy and Raman spectroscopy fo clinical needs.
Cardiovascular Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine
Welcome to the website of the Schenke-Layland Lab. Katja Schenke-Layland is the Professor of Biomaterials in Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine in the Medical Faculty of the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen and the Department Head of the Department of Cell and Tissue Engineering at the Fraunhofer IGB in Stuttgart. The objective of the professorship is to strengthen the cooperation between basic research, performed at the University of Tübingen, and the product-oriented research carried out at the Fraunhofer IGB Stuttgart. Together, and with the support of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Schenke-Layland lab aims to develop critical applications for the fields of tissue engineered biomaterials, women's health, cardiovascular regenerative medicine and optical technologies.
On these pages you will find information focused on the scientific work of the Fraunhofer "Attract" group, which bridges both locations. For detailed information on the Department of Cell and Tissue Engineering and all of our services, please visit the department website.
