Additional information
Biomaterials are a special group of materials, either natural or synthetic in origin, which are designed to positively interact with living systems. The biomaterials minor introduces different classes of biomaterials and several application areas together with the basics of tissue engineering, where biomaterials and cellular regeneration techniques are combined to create advance therapies. The standards and regulations of the R&D of biomaterials is also emphasized. The minor also gives a theoretical introduction to and practicing with medical instrumentation, signals and images, and modeling.
Only intended as a minor
