Membership in the Society for Biomaterials and Artificial Organs (India)

Biomaterials and their applications in Artificial Organs, Medical Devices, Tissue Engineering, Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery are emerging areas for biotechnologists, chemists, physicists, biologists, engineers and medical professionals in India. However, the fundamental and applied research in this multidisciplinary field is still in its incipient stages in India. The objective of this Society will be, not only to cultivate an atmosphere nationwide for the growth of basic and technological oriented research in Biomaterials and Artificial Organs but also to bring the professionals from various faculties together to improve the quality of their approach in future research.
