Seminar on "Biomimetic materials for blood compatibility" By Professor Matt Kipper
On 19th November, the Materials Science and Engineering Department, KFUPM had the honor of hosting Professor Matt Kipper from Colorado State University for an exceptional guest lecture on "Biomimetic materials for blood compatibility".
Professor Kipper, a leading expert in chemical and biological engineering, shared his groundbreaking research on designing engineered materials that improve blood-material interactions in medical devices. His work focuses on leveraging biomimicry to create materials that reduce harmful biological responses like blood clotting and inflammation—critical challenges in devices such as stents, heart valves, catheters, and blood oxygenators.
The lecture emphasized how innovative material design could not only reduce the need for pharmaceutical therapies but also enhance the safety and efficacy of blood-contacting medical devices, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
We are incredibly grateful to Professor Matt Kipper for sharing his expertise and vision with us. Your inspiring work has opened new avenues for research and collaboration, and we look forward to future opportunities to advance healthcare materials innovation together.
