Department of Biomaterials hosted two seminars on nanostructured biomaterials and biosensor applications based on nanotechnology.

Biomaterials hosts an open seminar on bone-anchored implants and the ramifications of increasing antimicrobial resistance on implant-related infections.

Our department showed a strong presence at the 2nd International Symposium on Bioinspired Macromolecular Systems in Aveiro.

After a long wait, our brand new nanoCT scanner is up and running!

September brought us even more reasons to celebrate at Biomaterials.

September started with big celebration for science at the Biomaterials lab.

While most people were enjoying their summer holidays by the beach, our lab did not quiet down thanks to our three hard-working student researchers.

Group of enthusiastic biomaterials researchers and microbiologists joined their forces last week to discuss the future challenges related to implantable medical devices in the world without antibiotics.

Come and join us in our discussion on how to design and test anti-infective biomaterials for the post-antibiotic era.

Our department hosted a seminar on the surprising similarities of bone and fat tissue and the devastating consequences of obesity on oral health.

Sebastian Geißler has publicly defended his doctoral dissertation Surface functionalization of dental implants for improved biological response and reduced infection risk. Department of Biomaterials congratulates Sebastian on his great achievement!

Department of Biomaterials had an eventful March with many of our researchers participating in two different international conferences.

Department of Biomaterials is involved in organising the Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials annual meeting in Hafjell 15-17 March.

Martin Bech from University of Lund offered us a glimpse into the exciting new possiblities available in high-resolution X-ray imaging of biological materials.

Paweł Kałłas from Szczecin joined our group for a five month Erasmus internship and thoroughly enjoyed his stay in Oslo.

On the 30th August 2016 The Symposium “Microbial Surface Colonization” accompanies the “årsmøte” (yearly meeting) of the Norwegian Microbiological Society (Norsk Forening for Mikrobiologi, NFM), and is co-organized by the NFM, the UiO Centre for Integrated Microbial Evolution (CIME) and the Institute of Clinical Dentistry at UiO.

In June 2016, The Department of Biomaterials held a seminar on Growing Artificial Tissues in Simulated Microgravity. The guest speaker of the seminar was Prof. Alamelu Sundaresan from Department of Biology, Texas Southern University, Houston, USA.

The department has received more than 700 000 Euros to provide new insights into the role of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in immune reactions and cell-to-material interactions.
