Biomaterials for Tissue and Genetic Engineering

Biomaterials for Tissue and Genetic Engineering

The aim of the research is the development of smart nanobiomaterials and systems for tissue and genetic engineering for biomedicine. New advanced design strategies for tissue regeneration and patients faster rehabilitation will be elaborated. Novel biomaterials – biomedical cements and coatings for bone implants – should improve the mechanical and biochemical characteristics of the damaged host hard tissue and, at the same time, stimulate the physiological environment. Among the various proposed  biocompatible and/or resorbable materials, a particular attention is given to bioactive glass-ceramics and substituted calcium phosphates. Innovative glass-ceramic materials, used as scaffolds, cements and coatings, are able to form bonds with the host tissue, stimulating cells proliferation and differentiation and angiogenesis.
