Biomatériaux et Bioingénierie pour l'Innovation en Chirurgie/Biomaterials and Bioengineering for the Innovation in Surgery

在过去的几十年里，生物材料、人造器官和医疗植入物成功地改善了数百万人的生活质量。然而，生物材料和医疗器械完全成功的应用非常罕见。失败或临床并发症经常被观察到，不同的应用有不同的发生率。生物材料和生物工程外科的短期和中期目标是改善医疗器械的临床性能，目前这些医疗器械已经商业化，临床医生每天都会植入这些器械。总体的长期目标是研究开发与生理相关的模型的具体方法，以评估和预测医疗器械和药物的临床成功，以及促进再生医学。

In the last decades, biomaterials, artificial organs and medical implants have been successful to improve quality of the life for millions. However, very rare are the applications for which biomaterials and medical devices are completely successful. Failures or clinical complications are often observed, with different incidences related to the applications. The CRC in Biomaterials and Bioengineering for Surgery short and medium term aim is to improve the clinical performances of medical devices that today are commercially available and implanted daily by clinicians. The overall long-term aim is to investigate specific methodologies for developing physiologically relevant models for assessing and predicting the clinical success of medical devices and drugs, as well as advancing regenerative medicine.
