Introduction
IBTN group is an organization that
understands
the
need
of
a
multi-
disciplinary research team in order to generate innovative solutions to the critical
clinical issues related to biocompatibility,
durability of implants and formulation of
better clinical treatment/management. This
institute main focus on the research and
Our Team
IBTN aims to be a leading research
institute in the area of biomaterial and bioengineering for multifunctional, durable
and safer implants in the health care sector, particularly in dentistry and orthopedics. A strong research collaboration is es-
tablished with team in Brazil (UNESP)
The team we have assembled for this
multi-disciplinary and multi-institution IBTN
group is led by:
