Under the theme “From Discovery to Device”, Qianli Ma gave an oral presentation on sustainable scaffold materials for bone repair, while the rest of the UiO delegation presented posters covering implant decontamination, oral inflammation models, hydrogels, antibacterial bone substitutes, biomolecular stabilization, and advanced imaging.

Researchers from our Department made a strong mark on the international scientific stage this September, presenting their latest research at five major conferences across Europe. From Warsaw to Monaco, their contributions showcased cutting-edge work in biofabrication, imaging, scaffold technology, and regenerative materials, highlighting the department’s leading role in translating biomaterials research from the laboratory to the clinic.

We are proud to announce that Minh has been awarded H.M. The King’s Gold Medal 2025, one of Norway’s most prestigious academic honours, given to only eight young researchers at the University of Oslo this year. The award is a mark of excellence and is granted for scientific work of particularly high quality and originality.

Agnes Rogala has publicly defended her doctoral dissertation Tannic acid-based functionalization of titanium surfaces for improved tissue integration and reduced infection risk. Department of Biomaterials congratulates Agnes on her great achievement!

Have you ever wanted to explore the internal structure of materials as if peering through an X-ray? Last week, Torben and Liebert got to do exactly that during their visit to the MOGNO micro- and nanotomography beamline in Brazil—a remarkable facility that unveils hidden features at exceptionally high resolution.

Norway’s leading research institutions recently gathered to strengthen collaborative efforts with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Hosted by the Research Council of Norway, this high-level meeting focused on maximising Norwegian access to advanced synchrotron research techniques—powerful X-ray methods that provide unprecedented insight into materials and biological systems at the atomic scale.

We are happy to announce that the project, “Using Peptide-Encapsulated Hydrogels for Enhancing Fracture Healing in Post-Menopausal Osteoporotic Conditions,” has been awarded the prestigious Pioneer Innovator Grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This grant will bolster our research on enhancing our ability to improve the lives of patients suffering from osteoporosis-related fractures.

Angela has been awarded the pitching prize for the most promising student-driven startup at Start Norway's Pitch Night for her student entrepenurship work with Regenarti AS

Athina and Håvard participated in the successful Consortium Meeting for the H2020 project BIOMATDB in Vienna. The meeting brought together key partners to review progress, address challenges, and plan future strategies. A major highlight was the successful internal testing of the biomaterials database and marketplace, marking a significant step forward in the project. We are optimistic about the  database for the biomaterial community.

In celebration of Professor Alamelu Sundaresan’s appointment as an honorary doctor at the University of Oslo, the Department of Biomaterials hosted a seminar titled "Artificial Tissue Development and Assessment." This event brought together researchers and discussed innovative strategies for developing artificial tissue models, their potential applications, and methods for evaluating their effectiveness. We believe that the insights shared in this seminar have the potential to inspire and motivate further advancements in the tissue engineering field.

The Department proudly shares the recent accomplishments of our PhD student, Torben Hildebrand, who won a Poster Award at last week's SPIE Optics + Photonics 2024 conference in San Diego. This conference is a leading platform for the global optics and photonics community to collaborate, share groundbreaking research, and engage in insightful discussions.

Minh has successfully defended his thesis, "The dynamics of bone augmentation with a TiO₂ graft material: Studies in challenging pre-clinical models" Minh's thesis, meticulously researched and presented, delves into the complexities of bone graft materials, offering groundbreaking insights that pave the way for future innovations in dental and orthopaedic treatments.

The Department is thrilled to announce the EXCITE 2.0 Network project kick-off. Marking a significant milestone in scientific research, this initiative sets a new standard for interdisciplinary collaboration across Europe, leveraging the continent's leading electron and X-ray imaging facilities.

The Department is excited to announce the successful completion of the second consortium meeting for the BIOMATDB project. Hosted in the vibrant city of Barcelona, the event brought together leading experts in biomaterials from across Europe.

With the ever-darkening autumn days, it's good to look back to the sunnier summer months when the biomaterials lab was taken over by our French intern students.

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. 

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.

We are delighted to announce that Stefanie Linskens has successfully completed her bachelor internship at the Department of Biomaterials, scoring an impressive 8/10. Stefanie's time with us has been highly productive, and we couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments.

This past month, the University of Oslo (UiO) had the privilege of participating in an esteemed symposium hosted by the Forschungscampus Mittelhessen. The two-day event, "The Intersection of Digital Technology and Patient Care," explored the dynamic fusion of digital technologies with patient care practices, emphasising the field of regenerative medicine.
