About us
Our mission and goal is to generate ideas, knowledge and scientific training for individuals within the subject area. The purpose is to contribute to sustainable development and improved quality of life for patients with injuries and diseases.
Our roots originate from Professor P-I Brånemark’s research on osseointegration* which has revolutionized global dental care. Today, the subject area of biomaterial science consists of four research groups with different focuses, but who share methods and equipment. Most projects are run together with material scientists and clinically active colleagues.
*Osseointegration: the connection between living bone and the surface of an artificial implant
