The Hybrid Materials Interfaces (HMI) Group at the Faculty of Production Engineering has been founded in
October 2008 as an Endowed
Chair of the Conrad Naber Foundation. The focus of its research lies on the atomic-level
studies of interfaces between technological materials and biological macromolecules, with applications
in the fields of biomedical implants, biosensors, pharmaceutical packaging, biocompatible adhesives,
and many others.
The activities of HMI comprise both experimental research into biomolecular adhesion and advanced
theoretical modelling from the quantum to the classical level of precision. The group members are
affiliated to the Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science
(BCCMS) and
the Centre for Environmental Research and Sustainable Technology
(UFT).
The Chairholder is Prof. Lucio Colombi Ciacchi.
He has been the Coordinator of the ADGLASS
FP7 European Consortium
from September 2009 to February 2013, and is the Speaker of the
MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes
at the University of Bremen since 2014.
