Materials & Biomaterials

Biotechnology is opening new opportunities for the development of innovative materials with unique properties.

Engineered proteins can be used to create sustainable materials combining high performance and environmental compatibility.

These materials are being explored for applications ranging from medical implants to advanced textiles.

Applications

Modified structural proteins can be used to produce materials inspired by natural systems, such as spider silk.

Protein-based biomaterials are used in medicine for implants, scaffolds, and tissue engineering.

Recombinant proteins can be used to produce fibers with exceptional mechanical properties.

Certain proteins have strong adhesive properties that can be used to develop bio-inspired glues.
