Ph.D in Nanosurface Bioengineering of Implants

It focuses on different surface nanostructuring and combined surface nanostructural and chemical modifications to improve biocompatibility of titanium implants. The scanning electron microscopy image as well as atomic force microscope image shown in the figures depict the uniform nanotubular structures obtained on metallic Ti surface by anodization.

Cell attachment and proliferation studies performed on modified titanium surfaces, as a function of surface roughness provides insight into the best structural feature necessary for optimal cell adhesion. A SEM image of excellent cell spreading on anodized Ti surface is shown in the figure on the right.
