The programs of the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials are closely aligned with Governor Corzine’s 2007 economic growth strategy. 
We strive to provide key examples of New Jersey’s research excellence with the Center’s NIH-funded Technology Resource for Polymeric Biomaterials (RESBIO) and the DOD-funded Center for Military Biomaterials ResearchNetworking and professional development opportunities within the state are promoted through our partnerships with industry, while our various academic programs aim to shape New Jersey’s educational output and workforce.  Finally, through the Center’s spin-off companies, active licenses, R&D agreements, and our participation in the Uncommon Individual Foundation, our goal is to directly impact New Jersey's economy and entrepreneurship initiatives.
