Biomaterials as a research theme is highly socially relevant with impactful applications in
human healthcare. In this context, this book provides a state-of-the-art perspective on
biomaterials research in India and globally. It presents a sketch of the Indian landscape
against the backdrop of the international developments in biomaterials research.
Furthermore, this book presents highlights from major global institutes of importance,
and challenges and recommendations for bringing inventions from the bench to thebedside. It also presents valuable information to those interested in existing issues
pertaining to developing the biomaterials research ecosystem in developing countries.
The contents also serve to inspire and educate young researchers and students to take up
research challenges in the areas of biomaterials, biomedical implants, and regenerative
medicine. With key recommendations for developing frontier research and policy, it
also speaks to science administrators, policymakers, industry experts, and entrepreneurs on
helping shape the future of biomaterials research and development. - About the authors
