Biomaterials

Biomaterials are designed for contact and interaction with biological systems, such as implanted medical devices, prosthetics, skin-based wearable devices, scaffold materials for regenerating tissue, and drug release materials. 
There is research to understand structure-function relationships in biological materials, and to design bioinspired materials used in biomedical devices, implants, tissue engineering, drug-delivery and biosensing.
