Research
InGRID – the Interdisciplinary Group for Resorbable Implant Development focuses on identifying and addressing fundamental research questions related to resorbable implants – questions that are often too complex to be solved by applied research or by companies in the biomedical sector alone. The vision behind the group, and the GACR Junior Star project that initiated it, is to build a truly interdisciplinary team capable of tackling these challenges.
