Thus, it is important for biomedical engineers to understand the fundamental properties of biomaterials and their interactions with biological systems. After taking this unit, you should be able to select suitable biomaterials for specific medical implants, devices and tissue engineering applications based on key features including biocompatibility, manufacturability, and sustainability. You will also have the essential knowledge to communicate with other professionals in the biomedical space including materials engineers, cell biologists, surgeons, and medical device regulators.","title-full":"EGH438 Biomaterials","title-short":"Biomaterials","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=EGH438&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=EGH438","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=EGH438"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
