Comprehensive Biomaterials (3e) brings together the myriad facets of the diverse and interdisciplinary field of biomaterials. Articles address the current status of biomaterials themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, their future prospects, appropriate analytical methods and testing, device applications and performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and disruptive technologies, research and development, regulatory management, commercial aspects, and applications, including medical applications. Detailed coverage is given to both new and emerging areas and the latest research in more traditional areas of the field. Particular attention is given to those areas in which major recent developments have taken place. This new edition will aim to appropriately update the previous edition articles as well as add more on new materials, devices and technologies, sustainability, ethics and commercial issues. Bridging the gap between foundation-level books and highly-specialized journal content, this Major Reference Work provides biomedical scientists in industry, government, academia, and research organizations with an accurate perspective on the field in a manner that is both accessible and thorough.
• Close focus on the materials themselves
• Reviews the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field by analyzing their
strengths and weaknesses, performance, and future prospects
• Covers all significant emerging technologies in areas such as 3D printing of tissues,
organs and scaffolds, cell encapsulation; multimodal delivery, cancer/vaccine - biomaterial
applications, neural interface understanding, materials used for in situ imaging, and
infection prevention and treatment
• Effectively describes the many modern aspects of biomaterials from basic science, to
clinical applications

Kevin Healy
Kevin E. Healy, Ph.D. is the Jan Fandrianto Distinguished Professor in Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in the Departments of Bioengineering and Materials Science and Engineering. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Rochester in Chemical Engineering in 1983. In 1985 he received a Masters of Science degree in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1990 he received a Ph.D. in Bioengineering also from the University of Pennsylvania. He was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2001. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 published articles, abstracts, or book chapters which emphasize the relationship between materials and the tissues they contact. His research interests include the design and synthesis of biomimetic materials that actively direct the fate of embryonic and adult stem cells, and facilitate regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. Major discoveries from his laboratory have centered on the control of cell fate and tissue formation in contract with materials that are tunable in both their biological content and mechanical properties. These materials find applications in medicine, dentistry, and biotechnology. He is currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. He has served on numerous panels and grant review study sections for N.I.H. He has given more than 200 invited lectures in the fields of Biomedical Engineering and Biomaterials. He is a named inventor on numerous issued United States and international patents relating to biomaterials, and has founded several companies to develop materials for applications in biotechnology and regenerative medicine.
