Department of Biomaterials
Biomaterials are materials (synthetic and natural; solid and sometimes liquid) that are used in medical devices or in contact with biological systems. Biomaterials originsstem from the use of synthetic materials (metals, polymer & ceramics) in diverse applications as dental restorations, artificial hips and Vascular graphs. More recentlythe scope of the field has broadened to include studies of natural tissues, cellular structures, and biomacromolecules, sometimes collectively referred to as biological materials.
Biological tissue shows a functionally and
morphologically well-designed structure.
Biomaterials and bioengineering technique
have tremendous potential to recover or
reproduce the specific functions or morphology
of the biological tissue. Our lab focuses on the
following 5 topics. Based on these topics we
engage to develop novel biomaterials, tools
and technique for medical treatment and
for life science researches.
The main research topics1. Tissue regeneration by using biomaterials and biologic
materials
2. Tissue reconstruction by using biomaterials
3. Multi-scale understanding of interface between
biomaterials and biological tissue
4. Development of cell/tissue manipulation technique for
in vitro tissue synthesis
5. Controlling infection, inflammation, and immunity by
using biomaterials and biologic materials
