Centre for Biomaterial Development

The research at the GKSS- Centre of Biomaterial Development in Teltow is focussed on the development of innovative, polymer-based biomaterials for medical applications. The spectrum of our product developments extends from different types of plastics that can be used in regenerative medicine and in the field of tissue engineering to active implants for minimally invasive surgery, adsorber materials for filter systems, apheresis or other detoxification processes for use on bodily fluids outside the body, and intelligent drug delivery systems for the pharmaceutical industry.

A strategic alliance between Charité, Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, represented by Max-Delbrück-Centre, Berlin-Buch and GKSS, Centre of Biomaterial Development in Teltow enables joint research activities at the Berlin-Brandenburg Centre for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT). Together with 19 groups of clinicians and scientists from other research institutes four new GKSS research groups (a total of 16 professorships) are working on the development of new regenerative therapies for clinical application. For a close collaboration they are located at the Charité Campus Virchow Clinic.

The Centre for Biomaterial Development has state of the art equipment for synthesis and processing. Cleanrooms and a specially adapted quality management system are assuring quality. Upscaling capacities enable providing materials in the quantities required for clinical studies.

The Research of the Centre for Biomaterial Development is splitted into the following departments:

In the category invation management you find more information to biomaterials, transfer of technology and as well as to topic of quality management.

Furthermore you find there actual informations to our exhibition shows.
