Coatings for Ureteral Stents
Ureteral stents, and other medical devices in the urinary tract, frequently suffer from encrustation with calcium and magnesium salts. ISurTec is developing a coating to reduce encrustation, allowing longer lifetimes of devices with less pain for patients.

Neural tissue engineering scaffolds
Our scaffolds will be produced in a standardized format compatible with common electrophysiology equipment such as multielectrode arrays. The scaffolds are designed to enable high-throughput electrophysiological assays with high predictive power for multiple neurotransmitter systems including glutamatergic, cholinergic, dopaminergic, serotonergic, noradrenergic, and GABAergic circuits.
