IMDEA Materials Scientific Director Javier Llorca talks with Cadena Ser about developments in biodegradable implants
Professor Javier Llorca speaks with journalist David Callejo about IMDEA Materials' work developing a new generation of biodegradable, shape-morphing implants. Prof. Llorca highlighted the recently-launched, European Innovation Council-funded Horizon Europe BIOMET4D project as an example of IMDEA
La Razón and Telemadrid among those to highlight BIOMET4D project launch.
Newspaper La Razón and television channel Telemadrid are two of the outlets to have covered the launch of the new Horizon Europe, European Innovation Council-funding BIOMET4D project. The €3.5 million inititiative to develop smart, biodegradable, shape-shifting implants is being coordinated by
IMDEA Materials Institute to lead €3.5 million European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder project to develop smart 4D biodegradable shape-shifting implants
The BIOMET4D project aims to create a new generation of biodegradable implants capable of shape change and load-bearing for dynamic tissue restoration to provide improved health outcomes in the treatment of craniosynostosis and skin expansion procedures. IMDEA Materials Institute leads a highly
