The MS degree in Biomaterials Science is awarded by the New York University College of Dentistry (NYU Dentistry) with courses offered by the NYU Dentistry Department of Biomaterials.The mission of the program is to provide education and training in biomaterials science and immersion in state-of the art technology, while ultimately contributing to improving human health through biomaterials-based treatment modalities.The program includes the study of basic material properties and structure of a full range of biomaterials used in medicine and dentistry. The biologic interactions of these materials related to their composition, surface, architectural features and function, and the methods employed to investigate structure, function, and biologic interactions are presented and explored.Provide students with state-of-the-art knowledge and training in biomaterials science that will prepare them for careers in research and development in academia and industry.Enhance the students' understanding of biomaterials-based treatment modalities by providing them with a broad background in biomaterials structure, fabrication, function and interactions with cells and tissues.Serve as a basis for further advanced studies, e.g. PhD programs in biology, physical and health sciences.
