Our Mission
The IBIOE will enable the development of clinically relevant biomaterials technology and products for disease management and the transfer of this technology for patient care through leading biomaterials-related education, research and training in these areas:
- Advanced Biomaterials
- Human Centered Electronic Collaboration
- Tissue Fabrication
- Tissue Test Systems
Our Goals
- Disseminate cutting edge biomaterials technologies internationally
- Develop an internationally recognized “go to” electronic research and training collaboratory to facilitate surgeon-researcher interactions and expedite the translation of advanced technologies to the clinic
- Immerse students and medical residents in a technically diverse environment to hone technical, entrepreneurial, communication, leadership and teamwork skills
- Maximize economic development for the state of South Carolina through the establishment of an internationally recognized Medical Research Center with industrial partners
- Establish a model recruitment and professional development program that facilitates the access of economically disadvantaged South Carolina students to higher education and inquiry/team-based research opportunities
