Dental Biomaterials and Biomimetics Research Group is a newly established interdisciplinary research group at the University of Sharjah, College of Dental Medicine and Research Institute For Medical and Health Sciences. Our main aim is to develop novel natural or synthetic materials and strategies that drive the tissue repair process. We also aim to understand the interaction of biomaterials with the cellular environment to optimize tissue regeneration. Furthermore, we are using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and 3D printing to address a wide variety of clinical challenges and commercial opportunities.

Goals and Objectives

1. Developing new technology and biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
2. Understanding the complex biomaterials-celluar interaction and their response to various physical and biochemical environments.
3. Contributing to various social needs related to the field of biomaterials.
4. Establishing collaboration and supply services to third bodies such as dental industry and government.
5. Evaluating the anticipated performance of newly introduced dental materials by using clinical simulation and up-to-date technology.
6. Focusing on green products for sustainable dentistry.
