The TRAI Lab group is based within the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham. The research group focuses upon developing innovative solutions for the regeneration of a multitude of tissues, but has a strong focus on the formulation of technologies to enable the regeneration of hard-soft tissue interfaces. Medical devices for implant are therefore of key interest to the group. Fully understanding the component life cycle, in-service performance, functionality and manufacturing route are critical to allow medical implant components to be produced which are safe and robust. In this seminar Sophie will share details of various research strategies to enhance medical device performance. This includes case studies concerning the formulation of biomaterials to deliver novel therapeutic agents and the use of additive manufacturing to create next generation custom implants. The talk will take an informal format to encourage discussion and scoping of possible collaborations with the Healthcare Technologies Institute.

This talk is part of the School of Metallurgy and Materials Colloquia series.
