Introduction to molecules used for biomaterials, molecular interactions between different materials and biological systems (molecules, cells, tissues). The concept of biocompatibility is discussed and important techniques from biomaterials research and development are introduced.

Introduction to molecules used for biomaterials, molecular interactions between different materials and biological systems (molecules, cells, tissues). The concept of biocompatibility is discussed and important techniques from biomaterials research and development are introduced.

This class is dedicated to Masters- and PhD students and covers: intorduction to molecules used for biomaterials, molecular interactions between different materials and biological systems (molecules, cells, tissues). The concept of biocompatibility is dicussed and imprtant techniques from Biomaterials research and development are introduced.

Fundamentals in blood coagulation; thrombosis, blood rheology, immune system, inflammation, foreign body reaction on the molecular level and the entire body are discussed. Applications of biomaterials for tissue engineering in different tissues are introduced. Fundamentals in medical implantology, in situ drug release, cell transplantation and stem cell biology are discussed.

This class serves as an introduction into the design of materials for biomedical applications. Its focus lies on controlling interactions at the interface between biomolecules, bacteria or living cells and synthetic materials.Knowing some basic concepts allows us to define requirements for material surfaces and to utilize molecular engineering principles for their realization.

Current topics in translational medicine presented by speakers from academia and industry.

This course introduces fundamentals in cell-/tissue material interactions relevant for the application of biomaterials in tissue engineering. Concepts of tissue engineering, 3D tissue models, cell transplantation and stem cell biology as well as applications of biomaterials for tissue repair and tissue engineering (in e.g. cardiovascular system, bone, skin, cartilage...) are discussed.
