The Mueller Lab specializes in developing advanced manufacturing solutions for soft and multifunctional materials, with a strong emphasis on Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing. The AM processes developed in the lab are capable of handling biological materials, such as hydrogels and living cells, with high throughput speeds and high spatial resolution. This capability enables the creation of intricate constructs, including multifunctional scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix of human tissues. These constructs can integrate various functions, such as active stimulation and sensing, to facilitate the study of life mechanics and biophysical phenomena, including aging and diseases.
