Ziel der AG ist die Entwicklung der implantierbaren Biohybridlunge, als gleichwertige Überbrückung bzw. Alternative zur Lungentransplantation. Hierbei stehen neben der Entwicklung und Zusammenführung neuartiger implantierbarer Oxygenator-Prototypen, Blutpumpen und intrakorporaler Kanülierungsstrategien, besonders die Biologisierung aller im Blutkontakt stehenden Oberflächen des Systems im Fokus. Für die Evaluierung der biologischen und technischen Systemkomponenten entwickelt die Gruppe darüber hinaus verschiedene Kreislaufsimulationen und in-vivo Modelle.
