Description:

Material biocompatibility is a function of tissue/ implant mechanics, implant morphology and surface chemistry. The interaction of the physiologic environment with a material is present at each of these levels, with subjects including material mechanical/structural matching to surrounding tissues, tissue responses to materials (inflammation, immune response), anabolic cellular responses and tissue engineering of new tissues on scaffold materials. This course is intended for senior level undergraduates and first year graduate students.
