BOBI Bioinspired Oral Biomaterials and Interfaces

BOBI focuses on designing bioinstructive materials inspired by nature to prevent infection and enhance regenerative outcomes in dental, oral, and maxillofacial therapies. Their work investigates the mechanisms governing bio/non-bio interactions, integrating physical properties with recombinant and natural polymers and peptides to create advanced biointerfaces. The group develops non-classical biomimetic mineralization for surfaces and scaffolds, biomaterials to improve mucosal and hard-tissue integration, and nanoparticle-based inks for 3D-printed oral scaffolds. Their research aims to advance oral and maxillofacial medicine through bioinspired, functional materials.
