The Biomaterials lab is a special section of the Soft and Biofunctional Materials Group (SBMG -i3N|CENIMAT fully dedicated to research and development of materials for biomedical and tissue engineering applications. It is located at room 211 of the Materials Science Department at NOVA School of Science and Technology.

The Research group in Biomaterials is supervised by Professor Dr. João Paulo Borges and is composed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in Materials Science and Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biotechnology and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. This laboratory is responsible for running four university courses:

• Introduction to Biomaterials

• Biomaterials

• Biomaterials and Nanomedicine

• Medical Imaging and Theranostics

Also, several PhD and MSc students develop their thesis in the Biomaterials lab, alongside with multiple projects.
