After successful completion of the course, the student:
- Is able to define the terms biomaterial and biocompatibility,
- Is able to describe the process of biomaterials regulation,
- Has knowledge about protein and cell interactions with biomaterials,
- Is able to describe the processes of inflammation and wound healing upon implantation of a biomedical device,
- Has knowledge about chemical modification and analysis of biomaterial surfaces,
- Has knowledge about the properties of biomedical polymers and composites used in regenerative medicine,
- Is able to describe the processing of these polymers and composites, notably by physical and covalent crosslinking into hydrogels and 3D-printed structures,
- Has knowledge about analysis of these structures with respect to their mechanical properties, degradation mechanism and tissue regeneration.
