| Description | Novel technologies that are based upon material science applications in medical regimes have spurred a renaissance in the improvement of human health. Unfortunately, foreign materials introduced into the body naturally induce responses that are deleterious to normal physiological functions. Therefore, understanding and controlling material properties to eliminate or minimize these reactions is a critical step for continuing to advance biomaterials technology. One of these critical response pathways to foreign materials is intricately linked to the interactions between material surface properties and the adsorption of proteins. To understand this complex interplay, one must delve into the realms of multidisciplinary science and applications that cross the boundaries of biology, engineering, and chemistry, simultaneously. The ultimate results of mastering these interconnected elds will be products that are able to diagnose and treat diseases in applications, ranging from tissue engineering to drug delivery, in order to improve human lives.
