3B´s Research Group

The 3B's Research Group (Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics) was established in 1998 at the University of Minho and supports a multidisciplinary and highly skilled team which works at the interface of biotechnology, biology, biomedical engineering and materials science. Major research areas at our group include, among others, new materials development, drug delivery, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, and stem cell isolation and differentiation. The group belongs to the Associate Laboratory IBB – Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering that has branches in several locations in Portugal. It also leads the European Institute of Excellence on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine that has branches in 22 locations in 13 different countries.
