%X Modern medicine is exploring novel strategies for curative therapies like minimally-invasive treatment procedures, approaches,for inducing endogenous regeneration, and targeted drug delivery, which are based on innovative multifunctional,polymeric biomaterials. Since protein-biomaterial surface interactions can critically affect the performance of such,materials in a biological environment, the strategic goal of the new Helmholtz Virtual Institute „Multifunctional Materials,for Medicine“ is to gain a comprehensive understanding of these complex processes in order to control the applicationrelevant,protein adsorption behaviour in the future. The activities of this Helmholtz Virtual Institute initiative are integrated,into the regional cluster “Healthcare Industry Berlin-Brandenburg – Health Capital”.
