Biomaterials

Nottingham is fortunate to have a large number of research groups working in the area of Biomaterials and medical devices. These groups come from eight Schools across the campus. There is close collaboration between these groups and also with clinicians at the University Hospital, Queens Medical Centre and also the City Hospital. A focus for this activity is the virtual Centre for Biomaterials and Medical Devices within the University. The following sections give a brief description of just some of the Biomaterials work at Nottingham. More detailed information on these and other group activities can be found on www.nottingham.ac.uk/biomaterial.

The University is a lead partner in the Medical Devices Faraday Partnership. The University is also a Cluster Leader within the European Thematic Network "Materials in Medicine" (MatMed) and was Network leader of the EPSRC funded UK Biomaterials Network.
