The Biofunctionalized Surfaces Group at the Max Bergmann Center for Biomaterials is working on i) the functionalization of biomaterials with a focus on the development of novel, innovative processes for the immobilization of biologically active molecules on biomaterial surfaces, ii) the antimicrobial and anti-adhesive treatment of biomaterial surfaces to reduce biofilm formation, particularly for dental applications, and iii) the characterization of materials and, in particular, their interaction with human cells (osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteoclasts). surfaces to reduce biofilm formation, particularly for dental applications, and iii) characterization of materials and in particular their interaction with human cells (osteoblasts, osteoclasts, fibroblasts, endothelial cells) or bacteria.
