Part 2 : interactions between materials and living organisms : actions of materials on living organisms and actions of organism on materials.

Part 3 : Drug delivery systems

Part 4 : clinical applications of biomaterials as well as biomaterials under development.

Introduction to biomaterial sciences. At the end of the course, the students should be able to :

1. Describe the structure and properties of the different classes of biomaterials.

2. Decribe the principles of interactions between materials and living organisms.

3. Justify the choice of a biomaterial for a determined function when i twill be in contact with biolological systems or when i twill be implanted in humans.
