In addition to the pure and applied research published in scientific journals and conferences, UBC researchers also produce a large number of patents.
Dr. Tom Troczynski’s Biomaterials Group is involved with calcium phosphate / hydroxyapatite coatings, composites and cements.
This research is of major importance for bone implants and hip replacement surgery.
Two recent patents from the Espacenet database:
Bioceramic composite coatings and process
Calcium phosphate coated implantable medical devices
