Biomaterials

This program aims to tackle the increasing consumer need for personalised devices which are safe, effective and cost- efficient.

This program includes 3D printed metal and composite devices, degradable scaffolds, surfaces and coatings, tissue engineered products, platforms and processes.

Indicative outcomes include:

• Cost-effective manufacturing of personalised 3D printed devices
• Biocompatible and biodegradable materials for high-value applications
• Improved safety, toxicity and efficacy of implantable devices for commercial readiness
• Identification and analysis of interactions between materials and body tissues
