医疗植入物、饮用水质量以及地铁中的金属气味都受到金属和生物分子界面的影响。这种界面永不休眠：物理、化学和电化学反应一直在进行，并相互影响。这项研究计划旨在通过预测金属-生物界面上的反应机理和速率来提高生物医学材料及其使用的安全性，例如用于纳米医学应用的金属植入材料和金属纳米颗粒。必须了解这些金属设备的腐蚀机理，这取决于它们的组成、设计、制造和患者S的感染情况，才能获得最佳应用。

Medical implants, drinking water quality, and the metallic smell in the subway are all influenced by the interface between metals and biomolecules. This interface never sleeps: physical, chemical, and electrochemical reactions are constantly ongoing and influence each other. This research program aims to increase the safety of biomedical materials and their use by predicting reaction mechanisms and rates at metal-bio interfaces, such as for metallic implant materials and metal nanoparticles used for nanomedical applications. The corrosion mechanisms of these metal devices, dependent on their composition, design, manufacture, and the patient¿s infection status, must be understood for optimal application.
