Our multidisciplinary team
The multidisciplinary team includes researchers trained in molecular biology, cell biology, odontology, medicine, microbiology, biochemistry, chemistry and materials science. The staff is dedicated to research focusing on development or modification of biomaterials, bone regeneration and integration of biomaterials into bone and related hard tissues.
Close relation to the
The research facilities are excellent, fully equipped for atomic force microscopy, profilometer, molecular force probing, confocal microscopy, atom absorbance, molecular imaging, protein and peptide separation techniques, cell culture, molecular biology including real-time PCR in addition to the basic laboratory equipment. Advanced equipment like scanning and transmission electron microscopy, mass spectroscopy and flow cytometry are available in the local network at collaborating laboratories.
