Current research projects
The Institute of Biomaterials and Cell Therapy is presently running three research projects:

Project Alpha
New Methods Improve Dental Implants of the Future
In the development of bone-anchored implants, it is of profound importance to be able to study in detail the boundary zone between artificial material and living tissue. The purpose of this project is to apply modern analytical methods from e.g. molecular biology, to get time resolved information on the critical biological processes in this boundary zone.

Project Beta
Hard Materials in Thin Sections are Studied with New Method
In this project new methods are being developed to dramatically increase spatial and elemental resolution when performing microscopic studies of the boundary zone between artificial material and living tissue. These methods render themselves for scientific studies aimed at development of new implants, as well as quality control tools for regular production.

 

Project Delta
New Skin Model for Realistic Image of Wound Healing
The interaction between artificial material and soft tissue is not as well understood as the interaction between artificial material and bone tissue. The purpose of this project is to develop an in vitro model for studies of cell-to-cell and cell-to-biomaterial interactions in the boundary zone between soft tissue and artificial materials. The clinical applications of this project can be found within e.g. wound care and skin penetrating implants.
