Biocompatibility is designed to provide students with knowledge of the factors underpinning biocompatibility and how this growing understanding is driving development of biomaterials and medical devices. From understanding of how a materials surface chemistry can influence biological host response, to awareness of the importance of correctly identifying the key application specific properties of a biomaterial or device prior to its development is critical to ensure its safety and efficacy in use.
