Biomaterial

Göteborg has a strong track record within the field of biomaterials, cell therapy and regenerative medicine:

Did you know that...
... Göteborg is home of Per-Ingvar Brånemark´s discovery of titanium´s ability to integrate with bone tissue, which spawned very dynamic applied research activities, primarily in the load-bearing capacity of implants.
... Göteborg and Stockholm have more than 30 percent of the world's stem cell lines, the majority of which is found in Göteborg.
