We are a multidisciplinary team with a passion for science. Our research is focused on design and development of molecules, soft materials and hybrid nanoscale components and devices for a wide range of biomedical applications.

The CNSx3 center has received a large grant to create 3D models of human organs. LiU-professor Daniel Aili is part of the project.

In our research we combine different de novo designed peptides with both synthetic polymers and biopolymers, including bacterial cellulose, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and polyethylene glycol, for fabrication of innovative soft biomaterials.

Researchers at Linköping University have shown that fibre from a semiconducting polymer, developed for solar cells, is an excellent support material for the growth of new human tissue.

Polypeptides are ideal components in molecular materials and devices as they can comprise the same chemical and structural diversity as proteins while being very robust.

We study both natural AMPs and designed AMP-mimetic peptides for various therapeutic applications.

By combining our expertise in molecular self-assembly and surface chemistry with innovative transduction technologies, we develop new strategies for biomolecular interaction analysis.

When nanocellulose is combined with various types of metal nanoparticles, materials are formed with many new and exciting properties. They may be antibacterial, change colour under pressure, or convert light to heat.

Professor of organic electronics Magnus Berggren have been awarded SEK 27 million for the coming five years from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to work on future technology for liquid fuels that are based on water and oxygen.

A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed by researchers at Linköping University. Their study is one further step on the road to a new type of wound care.
