Semester: SEM2

Contact: Prof Karin Hing

Biocompatibility is designed to provide students with knowledge of the factors underpinning biocompatibility and how this growing understanding is driving development of biomaterials and medical devices. From
understanding of how a materials surface chemistry can influence biological host response, to awareness of the importance of correctly identifying the key application specific properties of a biomaterial or
device prior to its development is critical to ensure its safety and efficacy in use.
