Biomaterials are used to make devices, such as biomedical implants, that interact with biological systems in the human body and coexist with minimal failure.
A new textbook titled “An Overview of Biomedical Implants: Biomaterials for the Human Body,” by Richard and Loan Hill Department of Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor Tolou Shokuhfar describes cases of innovations in biomaterials used in primarily biomedical implants for the human body. The textbook will contribute to the advancement of tissue regeneration and regenerative medicine.
The book will be published on January 9, 2025. Shokuhfar said it will provide an indispensable resource for an interdisciplinary audience.
Shokuhfar’s In-Situ Nanomedicine Laboratory focuses on in-situ liquid electron microscopy of physiological and pathological biomineralization events in the human body, as well as biochemical activities of biomolecules and biomaterials in wet environments. Her research also looks at multifunctional nanobiomaterials that could provide solutions for infection-free implants.
She has previously published another textbook titled “Nanotechnology in Medicine and Biology.”
