This project explores biomineralization in siliceous sponges to understand the genetic and enzymatic processes involved. It aims to apply these insights to develop innovative materials for biotechnology and medicine, including optical fibers and bone substitutes.
During the last decade, the principles of biomineralization have increasingly attracted multidisciplinary scientific attention, not only because they touch the interface between the organic/inorganic world but also because they offer fascinating bioinspired solutions to notorious problems in the fields of biotechnology and medicine.
However, only one group of animals has the necessary genetic/enzymatic toolkit to control biomineralization: siliceous sponges (Porifera).
Based on his pioneering di…
