The New Jersey Center for Biomaterials (NJCBM) encourages industrial participation in all its programs. By connecting academia and industry, the Center coordinates academic, technical and clinical resources to:
- Stimulate innovative basic and applied research in biomaterials science
- Foster novel and productive research partnerships to address the cutting edge challenges in biomaterials science
- Support shared core facilities to enhance collaborative inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional research
- Serve as a focal point for biomaterials education and professional development
- Facilitate technology transfer and the commercialization of innovative materials for biomedical applications.
In addition to research sponsorship and participating in educational programs, companies wishing to support the efforts of NJCBM and to receive the benefits of membership may join for an annual fee of $5,000. Membership fees will not be used for research, but solely for the education and outreach programs that benefit industrial members.
The Benefits of Membership
The industrial members of the NJCBM form a diverse group of companies with varied businesses but all sharing a common interest in promoting biomaterials for healthcare uses. Our Membership ranges from large-multinationals with active research programs to small start-ups needing heavy technical support to launch the next generation of lifesaving products. Our Members have unique needs.
