NextSkins

NextSkins is an international consortium of researchers developing skin-inspired engineered living materials for everyday This is what we are working on. We are generating novel living materials based on a grown matrix hosting engineered multicellular consortia that build and functionalise these different layers. Spatiotemporal patterning is realised by genetic control and the physicochemical properties of cells and biomolecules. As a powerful strategy to accelerate the adoption of our living materials in society, we will systematically involve the potential end- users and designers in our research for the materials and product development to happen in synergy. The aim is to develop two types of materials: Living Therapeutic Material (LTM) and Living Regenerative Material (LRM). For more information please visit our website. The NextSkins project receives EU funding through the EIC pathfinder challenge 3 “ELM”: Engineered Living Materials.
