Biohybrid Systems

Biohybrid Systems combine biological components, like cells or tissues, with synthetic materials to create functional devices. These systems leverage natural biological functions—such as sensing, energy production, or movement—and integrate them with engineered parts to enhance capabilities. For example, attaching muscle cells to a robotic structure allows it to move biologically. Biohybrid systems hold promise for advanced medical devices, soft robotics, and environmental sensors by blending the adaptability of living systems with the precision and durability of engineered technology. They represent a multidisciplinary approach, merging biology, engineering, and materials science to develop innovative solutions.
