IBTN

INSTITUTE OF BIO MATERIALS, TRIBOCORROSION, AND NANO-Regenerative MEDICINE (IBTN) 

Background: We understand the need for a multi-disciplinary research team to generate innovative solutions to the critical clinical issues related to biocompatibility and durability of implants and formulating better clinical treatment/management.

This institute's main focus is on the research and teaching related to the development and characterization of biomaterials for clinical applications. The team consists of clinicians, material scientists, and mechanical engineers from the College Of Dentistry-Restorative Dentistry and College of Engineering-Biomedical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Department of Biomedical Science, UIC Collge of Medicine, Rockford, and the Department of Orthopedics at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC).

Mission statement: Our mission is to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge in biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and nanomedicine in healthcare research. 

Vision statement: IBTN aims to be a leading research institute in the area of biomaterial regenerative medicine, and nanomedicine, particularly to develop multi-functional, durable, and safer implants in the healthcare sector, particularly in dentistry and orthopedics.
