Learning outcomes This course unit gives to the students an overview about the structure, function, properties and production of materials used in tissue engineering. At the end of this course unit students must be able to:

- Recognise the importance of developing new biomaterials with appropiated properties to their application in tissue engineering.
- Know the different stages of biomaterials certification for their use in the clinical environment.
- Manipulate basic laboratory equipment.
- Collect, systematize and organize information in order to be aware to discuss a specific theme.
- Recognize their limitations and be aware of the importance of keeping their skills update.
paying special attention to self-learning based on scientific data available.
- Communicate orally and know how to write technical scientific documents.
