Gaute Floer Johnsen has publicly defended his doctoral dissertation Contralateral premolars: validation of symmetry. Department of Biomaterials congratulates Gaute on his great achievement!
Manuel Schweikle has publicly defended his doctoral dissertation Characterisation of mineralised synthetic hydrogel scaffolds for bone repair. Department of Biomaterials congratulates Manuel on his great achievement!
Liebert Parreiras Nogueira won the movie award for best video at an international microCT conference in Mechelen, Belgium. The Department of Biomaterials congratulates Liebert on this accomplishment.
The annual ERA-NET Marine Biotech “BLUETEETH” meeting took place at Svalbard, halfway between Norway and North Pole. Janne E. Reseland concurrently also organized the International Workshop on Oral Degradable Biobarriers and with speakers from around the globe.
Summers at our lab are never quiet - thanks to our hardworking summer students. This summer, the biomaterials lab was kept busy by Dmytro and Nora.
Zhu Hao from Huazhong University of Science and Technology joined our group for one and a half years to teach us about Chinese traditions and cuisine (and do a bit of science at the side).
Torben Hildebrand from University of Hanover joined our group for five months to perform high-resolution 3D x-ray imaging of tooth structures.
Never before has any research group at our Faculty had more success with research grant from the Research Council of Norway. Our Department managed to obtain two large grants in the Nano2021 program.
Kick-off meeting on project on injectable biomaterials last month our recent funded project on injectable biomaterials for periodontal and endodontic regeneration had a kick-off meeting where the whole consortium was gathered
We are not only hosting visiting students but we also send some of our students out in to the world to experience new things. Like Florian is currently doing in Australia.
The annual H2020 ERA-NET Marine Biotech “BLUETEETH” project meeting took place at beautiful Madeira where our scientist discuss the use of marine derived biomaterials
Biomaterials hosts an open seminar on hierarchical and functional biomaterials based on protein self-assembly and nanocrystalline calcium phosphates.
Chinese researchers claim they have managed to grow tooth enamel for the first time. Our Petter Lyngstadaas discusses on Forskning.no whether this is possible or not.
The Department had wonderful Christmas seminar focusing on lab safety organised by Hanna Tiainen, Catherine Heyward and Alejandro Barrantes followed up with a dinner.
The Department has been busy both organising and attending conferences in September. Here are some of the highlights from Stockholm, Oslo, Madrid and Vienna.
