This talk will give an overview of our research into the development of new materials and materials-based characterisation approaches for regenerative medicine[1]-[3]. The ability to control the cell-material interface offers exciting possibilities for stimulating growth of new tissue for example through the development of conductive polymer scaffolds. By applying state of the art materials-based approaches we can also better elucidate the cell-material interface for applications in cardiac tissue engineering. Recent examples from our group will be presented.
