Biomaterials & Nanotechnology|
Biomaterials and Nanotechnology Research Group, one of the main research groups in Stem Cell Technology Company has been established from the very beginning. The main objectives and tasks of this group include various and worldwide research projects in biomaterials field. At the present time, experts of various engineering fields, esp. Polymer Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Textile Engineering have close interaction and cooperation with other research groups in Stem Cell Technology Company. The main focus of this group is designing and manufacturing special biomaterials for various medical applications. However the main core of the group is designing and manufacturing two and three dimensional engineering scaffolds for various tissue engineering applications. To achieve this, this research group attempts to produce scaffolds with defined and special physical, chemical, biological and morphological properties making use of various materials, equipments, processing methods, and high technologies especially nanotechnology. Having different well-equipped laboratories and workshops, this research group performs various activities in designing, processing, modification, and characterization of biomaterials for medical applications. The main laboratories and workshops of this research group includes General lab, Surface Modification lab, Nanotechnology lab, Biomaterials lab, Scaffolding lab, and Controlled Delivery Systems lab as well as Nanotechnology and Polymerization workshops. 1.
