Technical Facilities of the NJ Center for Biomaterials

The New Jersey Center for Biomaterials offers technical resources for the discovery and development of new biomaterials, processes and devices. The Center is well equipped with state-of-the-art instruments in a new suite of laboratories that have been designed and built to the Center’s specifications.  These facilities enable exciting research focused on polymer design, synthesis, characterization and biomedical applications. The dominant themes are tissue engineering and drug delivery technologies.



Principal capabilities are

•    Polymer design, synthesis and kilogram scale-up,
•    Bulk polymer characterization
•    Surface analysis - chemical, physical, and topographical 
•    Fabrication and engineering prototyping
•    Understanding cell-material interactions
•    Understanding of the time based properties of polymers for biological applications

Affiliated technical facilities at partnering departments, centers, and faculty laboratories extend the range of technical capabilities to fully enable the multidisciplinary efforts necessary for biomaterials research.

Location and Directions
These facilities are located on the third floor of the Life Sciences Building on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Parking is available in Visitor Lot 54 with a temporary permit. Click here for directions.
