| The focus in my laboratory is on the synthesis and characterization of biocompatible polymers for medical and dental applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. Our polymers are designed to degrade by incorporating ester, anhydride and/or amide bonds into the polymer backbone – bonds that can be biodegraded by enzymes o hydrolyzed in the aqueous milieu of the body. Biocompatibility is then measured in terms of the biological response to the polymers as well as to the polymers' degradation products. |
