Centre for Biomaterials
and Tissue Engineering

Biomaterials are being developed in response to clinical need. Research includes work on new biomaterials for cell culture and tissue engineering, drug release, transfection, prosthetics and enhanced implant biocompatibility.

Research in biomaterials includes the following areas:

• Scaffolds for tissue engineering
• 3D fabrication methods – polymers
• Diamond-like carbon
• Biomaterials for prosthetics
• Surface chemistry
• Polymerosomes
