The Biomaterials Group provides basic materials science, engineering, test methods, and standards to sectors of the health care industry for the development of new or improved materials and delivery systems with a strong emphasis on tissue engineering and related technologies. Whereas current medical implants are engineered to be biologically inert, the goal of tissue engineering is to utilize our understanding of tissue repair processes to design advanced medical devices that promote regeneration.
