The main focus of research is on tissue engineering, such as the reproduction of human skin in order to create an alternative to animal testing. In addition, the Kluger Lab is investigating how real meat can be grown from cells in the laboratory without any animal suffering. The focus here is on production processes such as 3D printing.
