Book Description
The revised edition of the renowned and bestselling title is the most comprehensive single text on all aspects of biomaterials science from principles to applications. Biomaterials Science, fourth edition, provides a balanced, insightful approach to both the learning of the science and technology of biomaterials and acts as the key reference for practitioners who are involved in the applications of materials in medicine.
This new edition incorporates key updates to reflect the latest relevant research in the field, particularly in the applications section, which includes the latest in topics such as nanotechnology, robotic implantation, and biomaterials utilized in cancer research detection and therapy. Other additions include regenerative engineering, 3D printing, personalized medicine and organs on a chip.
Translation from the lab to commercial products is emphasized with new content dedicated to medical device development, global issues related to translation, and issues of quality assurance and reimbursement. In response to customer feedback, the new edition also features consolidation of redundant material to ensure clarity and focus. Biomaterials Science, 4th edition is an important update to the best-selling text, vital to the biomaterials’ community.

About the Author
Shelly Sakiyama-Elbert is Professor of Bioengineering and Vice Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the School of Medicine at the University of Washington.
Dr. Sakiyama-Elbert’s research focuses on developing biomaterials for drug delivery and cell transplantation for the treatment of peripheral nerve and spinal cord injury. She has written 5 book chapters and over 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals. She has 8 U.S. patents and 2 patent applications submitted. Her research is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute of Health. Previously, she received early career awards from the Whitaker Foundation and the WH Coulter Foundation. She is currently on the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS): Americas Council and served on the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Board of Directors from 2009-2012. She joined the College of Fellows for the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2011 and was elected a fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society in 2013.
Her other professional service includes serving as an associate editor for Biotechnology and Bioengineering, a member of the Editorial Board of Acta Biomaterialia, member of the Long Range Planning Committee for the Society for Biomaterials (SFB) (2003-05), and serving as a standing member of the Biomaterials/ Biointerfaces (BMBI) study section for the NIH (2010- 2013). She served as chair for the 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering. She is currently the co-president of the Association of Women Faculty and served as a provost faculty fellow from 2012-2013.
Guigen Zhang, PhD
Professor, Clemson University
Dr. Zhang began his academic career at Tongji University (Shanghai, China) in 1987. After his doctoral and postdoctoral trainings, he resumed his research career at Northwestern University in Illinois. Before joining Clemson University in fall of 2008, Dr. Zhang was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia where he pioneered a bio-micro/nanotechnology program. Dr. Zhang has served as major professor to six doctoral students and two master students. All of his doctoral graduates are pursuing research careers in academia (e.g., Stanford, UIUC) and in industries (e.g., IBM, COMSOL). He also served on graduate advisory committees for another three doctoral students and two master students. He has mentored three postdoctoral fellows and numerous undergraduate students. He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Engineering and is an education editor for the Biomaterials Forum. Dr. Zhang has served as PI on several NIH and NSF grants and participated in the NIH study sessions and NSF review panels numerous times in the areas of biotechnology and nanotechnology covering topics such as chip based sensors, sensors and detectors for environmental monitoring, nanoscale drug delivery, and MEMS and NEMS devices.
