Foreword by The President, Indian National Science Academy

The Indian National Science Academy has assigned itself an important mandate of informing society, stakeholders and policymakers on various issues of science that are of relevance to society. This is being carried out through comprehensive reports and books, on the status of specific subjects through a narrative of evidence-based understanding of scientific research at the cutting edge. The literature is presented in a simple to understand manner and deals with aspects of education, research, and future possibilities, future challenges and suggestions for policies to take India forward. These reports project the needs of India during the coming two to three decades. This monograph on Biomaterials Science and Implants by Prof. Bikramjit Basu presents one such effort. The book deals with a complimentary subject of biomaterials, with the present science and education scenario, traces the historical developments, summarises the present status and gazes in to the future. It discusses various realms of this science that he terms as immigration science, that derives/depends on contri
