SYNBIO.ECM begins
SYNBIO.ECM begins with ERC Starting Grant support, giving SPL five years to build designer matrices that programme healthy and diseased myocardial morphogenesis.
3D-printing workshop
Francesco presented SPL's work at a 3D-printing workshop, sharing early ideas for using fabrication to build better experimental models of human tissues.
Synthetic Physiology Lab established
The Synthetic Physiology Lab is established at the University of Pavia. Led by Francesco S. Pasqualini, SPL will combine human cells, engineered microenvironments, live imaging, and computational models to rebuild physiology from the bottom up.
