ior of tissues and organs with application in the evaluation of pathologies and surgery, pre-opera- tive planning and virtual surgery. The main fields of application are related to the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system and other tis- sues such as trachea, eye or breast.
• Mechanobiology with emphasis on bone remod- eling, bone healing and bone morphogenesis, im- plant osteointegration and wound healing, taking into consideration the effect of the mechanical environment in cell response.
• Tissue engineering, analyzing the design of ce- ramic, polymeric and biological scaffolds and meshes in tissue regeneration, including the in- teraction scaffold-tissue.

signaling mechanisms, derived from the me- chanical environment (deformation, stiffness of the substrate...) and of the intra-extramembrane electric potential.
Design of bioreactors for biomimetic stimulation of cell cultures with special focus on the applica- tion of controlled strains and flow.
Development of microactuators, microfluidic net- works, etc. for the study of cell biology under in vitro biomimetic enviroments.
Design, fabrication and development of novel in vitro diagnostic systems based on microfluidic systems.
Microtechnology for life science applications.
