Overview

What you'll
be able to do.

This program includes a detailed introduction to biomaterials, like
- Different classes of biomaterials based on their source, properties, fabrication process, and applications.
- According to USFDA, CE, TGA, CDSCO or other regulatory guidelines, what are the criteria you should look at when you select a biomaterial to develop a medical device for clinical applications, drug delivery, or tissue engineering purposes?
- How a biomaterial reacts to our body at the cellular molecule level and what is the response of our body against a biomaterial?
- Overall biocompatibility study matrix of the biomaterial evaluation process, evaluation testing according to ISO, ASTM, USFDA, EN standards, degradation of biomaterials
- Different sterilization techniques to sterile a biomaterial-based device and how to select the right sterilization technique
It will help to reduce the gap between industry-required skills and academic knowledge.
The challenges and industrially oriented projects associated with this course will help students to improve their skills and knowledge for placement in key MedTech companies.
This course also will help to understand and identify different sub-domains under the biomedical field and will give an idea about the current MedTech scenario, market challenges, and opportunities.
Scientific knowledge of biomaterials from technical and regulatory perspectives will give a clear idea to the student to screen the biomaterial for developing medical devices in MedTech industries.
Apart from that, knowledge of IPR, market research, scientific literature, and project management helps to build a strong career path for MS and PhD opportunities.
