Biomaterials hosts an open seminar on the use of extracellular vesicles and platelet lysate in cell free regenerative therapies and as cost-effective cell culture supplement.

The Norwegian Dental Association's award for teaching and research 2012 to Post Doc Johan Caspar Wohlfahrt.

Department of Biomaterials brings light to the dark days of winter by organising an exciting scientific on nano-biomaterials seminar.

The seminar raise awareness on nano-biomaterials and to create a meeting place and arena for networks amongst the scientists in Norway working with nano-biomaterials and world leading scientists in the field.

The seminar is open for all participants and we strongly encourage both users and patient of nano-biomaterials to participate to the seminar.

Probal Basu started his Marie Curie postdoc project at the Biomaterials lab in July. He is the first MSCA postdoctoral fellow at our faculty, so let's hear what brought him to our lab and what are his first impressions of Oslo. 

Dyala Bakir's master thesis on polyphenolic nanocoatings for dental implants won this year's best master thesis award at the Faculty of Dentistry. Well done, Dyala!

The Department of Biomaterials has succeeded in attracting considerable funding and acknowledgement over the last ten years with a cumulative budget of 15 million Euros. The department has coordinated several EU and nationally founded projects on various type of applications from novel bone grafts, implant surface coatings, debridement strategies for infected implants, dental membranes, degradable metals, biomolecules for improved bone healing, soft tissue grafts and others. 

Professor Lyngstadaas  was the key note speaker at the Tkushinkai Annual International Conference.

Håvard Haugen was the key note speaker at the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Biomaterialien (German Society for Biomaterials) annual confrence. 

After a long wait, the sun is shining on us again and our lab is getting back to more or less normal activity over the summer. 

Florian Weber has publicly defended his doctoral dissertation Development of multifunctional polyphenolic coatings for improved peri-implant healing. Department of Biomaterials congratulates Florian on his great achievement!

Victor A. Jankowski's master thesis on polyphenolic nanocoatings for dental implants won this year's best master thesis award at the Faculty of Dentistry. Well done, Victor!

Manuel Schweikle was awarded His Majesty the King's Gold Medal for his outstanding PhD thesis focusing on developing mineralised hydrogels for regenerating bone tissue around dental implants. 

Usame Sevgi from Dicle University in Turkey joined our group for three months, bringing along some Turkish delight and an healthy appetite for science.

From 2013 - 2016, Head of the Department of Biomaterials, Professor Lyngstadaas will act as the Dean of Research at the Faculty of Dentistry.

Last week we organized the 16th  Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials (ScSB). annual conference held in the beautiful town of Røros together with Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU) . Our lab participated by presenting eight posters and two rapid-fire presentations from our esteemed members.

In a new opinion paper, researchers from the Department and consortium members of the EU-funded BIOMATDB project have delved into the complex world of biocompatibility, shedding light on the challenges and proposing a comprehensive new definition that could revolutionise the field. This research, recently published in 'Trends in Biotechnology', is poised to advance biomaterials science and its applications in medicine and dentistry.

Dipl.ing. Christiane Petzold will defend her thesis UV-induced functionalization of titanium surfaces with a polyunsaturated fatty acid for improved performance of temporary bone fixation devices.

Two candidates will go to Dr. Sundaresan's lab at Texas Southern University in 2013.

Hanna Tiainen from the Department of Biomaterials at IKO will receive the award for her PhD-work.

The Department of Biomaterials hosts an open seminar on hierarchical and functional biomaterials based on protein self-assembly and nanocrystalline calcium phosphates.
