BI Capabilities
Advocating for a brighter world with global impact, the BI empowers discovery by providing access to cutting-edge equipment for the production, screening, and characterization of biosurfaces and biomaterials to advance research and foster breakthroughs in health care, science, and engineering.. Our unique expertise and advanced infrastructure support the development and commercialization of technologies focused on surfaces, particles, and biomaterials through partnerships with the McMaster community, external academic partners and industry clients.
Information Box Group
McMaster Community
Faculty, students, and staff at McMaster University can become “BI Users” and access “hands-on” training on BI equipment from BI technical experts to strengthen their professional and technical skills while advancing their research initiatives.
External Academic Partners
Academic researchers outside McMaster can connect with BI technical experts to explore our capabilities and gain access to our advanced equipment through our sample submission process.
Industry Clients
Industry partners can collaborate with the BI to leverage our team’s technical expertise and advanced capabilities. Through an integrated workflow that takes projects from initial discovery to early-stage prototyping, we accelerate innovation and help bring solutions to market faster.
