Through the years, NUS has been working closely with various academic and research institutions as well industry partners through research collaborations or licensing of NUS generated technology. And more recently, NUS has spun-off a number of companies utilising NUS technologies. Read more about our success partnerships.
BioMers Products, LLC has taken NUS’ technology to new heights. Biomers is located in Naples, Florida with a manufacturing facility in Singapore. The company is engaged in developing novel polymer composite products for numerous biomedical applications. While orthodontics is the immediate application area, dentistry and orthopedics are also application targets for this innovative and patent pending technology.

Bioresorbable polymer scaffolds provide the necessary support for cells to attach, grow and differentiate. They also help define the overall shape of the tissue engineered implant for the repair of defects caused by trauma or diseases. This revolutionary approach to regenerative medicine is the basis of tissue engineering, which aims to restore form and function to patients, facilitating faster recovery without triggering a host of immune responses.
