Abstract

BIOREMIA is a 4-year project funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (ETN-ITN) on “BIOfilm-REsistant Materials for hard tissue Implant Applications”. BIOREMIA Network provides a unique interdisciplinary training for 15 PhD students, spread across 11 beneficiary institutions from 10 European countries and including academic, industry, and medical sectors.

The main goal of the project is to develop innovative material-based solutions with enhanced antibacterial and antifouling functionality that will result in improved biological acceptance of implants for bone-related applications (orthopedics and dentistry) and reducing the implant-associated infections. State of the art materials and surface modification technologies are used to limit the initial stages of bacterial adhesion, as well as biofilm formation.

BIOREMIA results will be presented in the Junior Euromat satellite event, with a focus on the strategies adopted to produce innovative biocompatible materials and to improve their antibacterial properties.
