Withdrawal
It is not allowed to withdraw from this subject after the registration deadline.Summary
The course introduces the main classes of biomaterials used in the biomedical field. The interactions with biological environment are discussed and challenges highlighted. State of the art examples per type of material are discussed. Students will generate a biomaterial and study cell compatibility.Content
