| 2ND YEAR-1ST SEMESTER | | BIOMATERIALS | This course covers the analysis and design at a molecular scale and at a macroscopic level of materials used in contact with biological systems and particularly for clinical applications. Topics include molecular interactions between bio- and synthetic molecules and surfaces; design, synthesis, and processing of metals and alloys, ceramics and polymers (both synthetic and natural); design and fabrication of materials that control cell functions and fate; biodegradation and applications of biomaterials in drug delivery and diagnostics.

Lectures will initially illustrate the most adequate materials and processing technologies to fabricate scaffolds. Then, biofunctionalization strategies, involving mechanical, physical or chemical functionalization will be discussed. The second part of the course deals with the in vitro cell culturing and processing in specific bioreactors. In this phase, mass transport phenomena, fluid-dynamics and cell metabolism will be presented. Finally, lectures will focus on selected examples of commercially available tissue engineered products and on novel devices for clinical applications.
