BMED 411 Biomaterials
Introduction to the field of biomaterials used in the design of medical devices, and to augment or replace soft and hard tissues. In-depth coverage will be focused on basic material sciences, bulk properties, characterization techniques, applications, and in vivo behavior of different classes of natural and synthetic biomaterials. Analysis of biological response and biocompatibility, degradation and failure processes of implantable biomaterials/devices. This course involves a significant amount of application oriented topics in order to understand detailed characterization of biomaterials and it concludes with one major project (presentation in the end of the semester).
