SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, ITALY: Automobili Lamborghini SpA said that it is collaborating with Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI), to share its expertise in the study of carbon fibre composite materials.
The ongoing research project is focused on a biocompatibility study of composite materials to be used mainly in prosthetic implants, but also in subcutaneous devices.
The aim is to identify new materials that are lighter, better tolerated by the human body, and more resistant over time than those currently used in the medical field.
Automobili Lamborghini is a leader in the research and production of carbon fibre composite materials, and the Advanced Composite Lightweight Structures Department of Research & Development provides its experience not only in the automotive field but also in other sectors including biomedical.
Mauro Ferrari, PhD, president and CEO of the Houston Methodist Research Institute, was welcomed in Sant’Agata Bolognese by Stefano Domenicali, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
Mauro Ferrari is an Italian scientist engaged mainly in nanotechnology research and in the field of applied bioengineering in medicine.
