Dr Marc Bohner has been working for RMS Foundation in Bettlach, Switzerland, since March 1998. He is responsible for resorbable biomaterials and bone substitutes. From 1985 to 1993, he studied and made his PhD at Materials Science Department of the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL). From 1994 to 1998, he completed two post-docs in the field of drug delivery, one at the bioengineering department of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, USA, and the second one at the pharmaceutical institute of the ETH Zurich.
Marc Bohner is interested in the use of resorbable biomaterials as bone substitute, and carrier of antibiotics and cells. More specifically, his interests comprises the synthesis, nanostructuration, and use of various calcium phosphates, the improvement of present delivery techniques for bone substitutes (in particular CaP and polymer cements), and the application of these materials, methods, and concepts in clinical applications.
Marc Bohner is the inventor of «chronOS blocks», «chronOS Inject» and «cyclOS / CEROS / chronOS Putty». He is the author of more than 80 peer reviewed articles (h = 31), 15 international patent applications. In 2004, he was nominated «adjunct professor» at the University of Sherbrooke (Canada). He is the past president of the Swiss Society for Biomaterials, the current president of GRIBOI, as well as the editor of Acta Biomaterialia, the No 2 journal in the field of biomaterials (IF = 4.9).
