Biomaterials Research Articles
Biomaterials are engineered materials designed to interact with biological systems for therapy, regeneration or diagnosis — from hydrogels and polymer scaffolds to drug-eluting coatings and 3D-printed implants. Student projects typically combine material synthesis or formulation, structural and mechanical characterization, and optional in-vitro cell or release studies.
