Module

Voraussetzungen

Inhalte

• Synthesis and characterization of biomaterials or components therof • Functional Biomolecules • Bioassays • 3D printing of biomaterials

Lernziele

The Biomaterials module is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, design, and applications of materials used in biomedical settings. By the end of the module, students will have acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge essential for the development, characterization, and evaluation of biomaterials. Specifically, students will be able to: • Understand the fundamental principles of biomaterials • Comprehend the key concepts of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biofunctionality • Explore the interactions between biomaterials and biological systems • Synthesize biomaterials • Analyze the chemical and physical interactions between biomaterials and biological matter • Design and tailor biomaterials • Assess the degradation of materials • Utilize 3D-bioprinting
