Description: The Polymer Chemistry and Biomaterials group (PBM) is a research group based at Ghent University and has over 15 years of experience in the synthesis and characterization of (bio)polymers for medical applications.
The Polymer Chemistry & Biomaterials Group (PBM) at Ghent University is active in the development of polymers for mainly biomedical applications including tissue engineering (a.o. orthopaedic, ocular, adipose, cardiovascular, meniscus, etc.), drug delivery, wound healing, on-chip applications, etc. The main research pillars are focussing on polymer synthesis, functionalization, processing and characterization of the polymers as well as the processed structures. Both synthetic and natural polymers are studie
The Polymer Chemistry and Biomaterials group has done an extensive research on (bio)polymers and their application in the biomedical field. The more than 100 publications prove our competence in the biomedical field.
The keystone of PBM Groups’ success is its versatile and professional team. The group is led by Prof. Peter Dubruel and Prof. Sandra Van Vlierberghe and employs 1 lab coordinator, 4 post doctoral researchers and 21 PhD students with multidisciplinary backgrounds.
