Projektbeschreibung
Polymers have found widespread applications in biomedicine, in particular as implant bulk or coating material or as carrier in drug delivery systems. In our lab, we focus on the establishment and characterization of surface modification reactions of polymers including the provision with a local drug delivery function and/or biofunctionalization in order to selectively control cell-implant interactions.
Aufgaben
Chemical surface modification and biofunctionalization of polymers for enhanced biocompatibility and their characterization via
Establishment of polymer-based local drug delivery systems and performance of in vitro drug release studies via HPLC and fluore
