Biomaterials Discovery

Biomaterials discovery: the journey to clinical application of a novel urinary catheter 

In this talk, Professor Alexander will tell the story of his team's discovery of a novel class of biomaterials resistant to bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, from the conception of the initial idea through to them reaching the clinic and very recent generation of early efficacy results. The talk will aim to highlight aspects of the high-throughput discovery approach that they took and the lessons that can be learned about the many challenges of taking candidate biomaterials from the lab to the clinic.
