Researchers from the Department of Biomaterials  participated in the 2026 Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials meeting at Gullmarsstrand, Sweden. 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.

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.

What a fantastic way to wrap up the year - Øystein successfully defended his PhD thesis — a remarkable achievement reflecting years of hard work, dedication, and scientific translation.

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

We participated in an engaging seminar on biomaterial-associated infections, which attracted a large audience of students and faculty members. The event featured international peri-implantitis experts Mariano Sanz, Lisa Heitz-Mayfield, and Mario Romandini, who presented their extensive research on this critical topic in modern dentistry. The seminar comprehensively explored peri-implant diseases, from definitions and diagnostics to cutting-edge interventions. Our PhD students presented our latest research in this field.

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.

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.

Sigrid Haugen successfully defended her dissertation for the degree of Ph.D. (philosophiae doctor) : A study of adiponectin and adiponectin receptor agonist ADP355 on bone and orthodontic tooth movement.

The programme for the annual Christmas seminar and dinner is ready. We have presenters from six European countries this year.
