INOVABIOMED is a unique centre, the equipment of the laboratories targeting a post-implementation mission of excellence, grouped in three thematic modules:
- M1. Advanced (bio)production methods for biomaterials
- M2. Integrated solutions guiding the response of the biomedical surfaces
- M3. Development of new approaches for the biomaterials characterization by coupling the micro- and nano-structural investigations
The three thematic modules will create a new generation of technologies, from the biofabrication of the bio-inspired architectures and artificial organs to the control of the biointeractions through biomimetic intelligent biomaterials assembled into complex structures, using the nanotechnologies and bionanotehnologies to stimulate bioactivity and also, for the early diagnosis, complex non-invasive and non-destructive imaging, exploitation of bio-resources as a source of functional biomaterials and investigating the impact of these materials on the environment.
