En ny centrumbildning har skapats av teknisk-naturvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Uppsala universitet – Upptech (Uppsala University School of Technology). Centret ska arbeta med att synliggöra, profilera och förstärka universitetets forskning och utbildning inom teknik.

We were at this year's popular science festival SciFest arranged yearly by Uppsala University to reach out and inform the society. Over 7000 people visited SciFest and our booth was full of curious visitors in all ages, who were mixing bone cements, 3D-printing bone, and discussing today's bone implants and future life long joints.

Quantification of elements contained in a material is of vital importance for the development of safe medical devices. From February 2017 the MiM lab has been upgraded with the possibility to do elemental analysis thanks to our new Avio 200 ICP-OES from PerkinElmer.

The Uppsala Biomaterials Day will take place on the 21st of November. There will be interesting lectures, talks, poster sessions and networking between local research groups developing biomaterials.

Congratulations to Song Chen for the successful defence of his PhD thesis
