Objective Tissue Engineering is a major focus of biotechnology research today. The most ambitious tissue engineering schemes involve the processing in vitro of cell seeded constructs to induce the formation of neo-tissue through the utilisation of bioreactor technologies. The aim of this project is to develop a prototype intelligent integrated mini bioreactor (IMBIOTOR) to improve the efficacy and efficiency of manufacture of tissue engineered implants. The IMBIOTOR will support fully or semi-automated operation and maintenance of a closed aseptic environment during tissue processing. It will incorporate intelligent control and novel monitoring systems for biological output and the relevant feedback mechanisms necessary to provide optimum stimulation of neo-tissue formation. These objectives will be achieved through a multidisciplinary, multinational approach, with the aim of introducing the novel process into the emerging industry of tissue engineering.
