Bioengineering/Biotechnology 
The convergence of light-emitting diode technology, photobioreactor design, algal biotechnology and low energy processing costs make biological fixation of geothermal CO2 into fine chemicals feasible. The Center for Systems Biology is working on projects, supported by Technology Development Fund/Rannis that are aimed at:
- determining the key performance characteristics of a core unit of a photobioreactor-based factory,
- designing and initiating scale-up of these units into versatile modules,
- determining the spectrum of algal strains that can be cultivated with this system.
Biomechanics/Biomaterial
The research topics on biomechanics include structural mechanics of bones and muscle loads, osteoporosis and fracture-risk prediction of bones; mechanics of bone adaptation; composites and prosthetics and mechanical behavior of orthopedic materials as well as other biomaterials.
