The development of artificial tissue via 3D
printing offers a transformative vision for
clinical therapies and organ transplantation.

Why study Materials for Medicine at UoM?

As human life expectancy increases apace, the number of patients at risk of suffering organ or tissue failure will also grow rapidly. This poses additional challenges to national healthcare systems where clinicians are already struggling with the limited efficiency of clinical therapies and the scarcity of available donors for transplant.

The Materials in Medicine group works at the interface between physical and biological sciences, developing a new generation of artificial tissue models with physiological relevance for the study of complex cellular mechanisms underpinning the regeneration process of human tissues.

We work in close collaboration with clinicians and biotechnology SME’s with the intention of accelerating the discovery, manufacture and translation of biomaterials through a platform of state-of-the-art bioprinting systems.
