Interfaces between synthetic materials and biological systems – biointerfaces – constitute one of the most dynamic and expanding fields in science and technology. The field is driven both by a number of growing industrial and clinical applications – medical implants, biosensors and biochips, regenerative medicine, drug screening and targeting - and by the desire to understand biointerface processes at a fundamental level. It is by definition highly interdisciplinary, spanning across the disciplines of physics, materials science & engineering, chemistry, biology, bioinformatics and medicine. Education of today’s students in a stimulating environment and with an interdisciplinary approach is a key factor for propelling this field forward.
