Welcome to BIOINTEGRATION RESEARCH LAB
(BIRL)

Biointegration refers to the interconnection between a biomedical device and the recipient tissue. In many implant devices, the lack of proper biointegration can cause device failure and potentially serious medical problems. The recent progress in surface chemistry, drug delivery and antifouling methods improve the biointegration of implants. Our lab focuses on understanding of biological systems and material properties, enhancing biointegration by means of modifying implant surface chemistry and by drug-delivery approaches.
