We are the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, an institute of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor. Our group have different backgrounds, and interests, which is why, we are a Biomedical Sciences Institute. Although, we focus on three main research branches:
; Development of in vitro testing methods based on human derived cell cutlures:
o Cell isolation from human tissues
o Full cell characterization for test standardization
o Development of novel in vitro models for material testing in terms of safety and pharmacotherapeutic efficiency (monolayers, co-cultures, in the future also 3D models)
o Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity assessment (based on different cell lines and standard, as well newly developed assays)
2. Biomedical applications:
o Development of drug delivery systems (focus especially skin pharmacology – either wounds and wound treatment or skin cancer)
o Development of novel solutions in wound healing applications (chronic and acute wounds)
o Tissue engineering applications (new solution in relation to various tissues, ranging from soft
– skin brain/spine, intestines…, to hard – bone…)
3. In vitro toxicology
o Development of novel in vitro models for testing of potential toxic effects of various substances (ranging from natural, to waste materials, as well as drugs)
o The focus is on physiological studies, rather than just defining potential toxicity
o The goal is to achieve a model that could close the gap between preclinical and clinical studies.
