Biomaterials
Technical Committee Members: 221

The DGM technical committee is an interface between basic research and industrial development. His workgroups deal with bio-inspired, degradable and antimicrobial biomaterials, permanent implants, dental materials, interfaces, tissue engineering and modeling and simulations, certification, licensing, standardization and legal issues arising from the use of biomaterials.

In the bodies of the expert committee, scientists, physicists, chemists, cell and microbiologists, physicians, dentists, and engineers from universities, university hospitals, companies and associations are given key national competences through their stakeholders.

In order to network and to keep the community informed about the latest developments, the Technical Committee organizes the international conference "Euro BioMat" and the further education "Biomaterials: Materials in Medicine" every two years.

  • Addressing the industrial and scientific issues in the area of established and new materials with interfaces to biological systems, with focus on materials in medicine.
  • Development of a scientifically based understanding of materials properties in interaction with biological systems, especially the area of ""biological performance"" and biocompatibility.
  • Focussing the panel on scientific, technical and economic issues in the priority areas resorbable / degradable biomaterials, permanent implants, dental materials, interfaces, tissue engineering, modelling and simulations, antimicrobial biomaterials, biomimetic biomaterials, certification, accreditation, standardization, legal issues.
  • Initiating research and development activities: joint projects between universities, research institutes and industry.
  • Exchange of experience between groups that are active in the field of biomaterials, and networking.
