The biomedical materials science program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center is a comprehensive program which includes faculty in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.

The biomaterials laboratories, totaling approximately 5,500 square feet, are housed on the first and fifth floors of the School of Dentistry. These facilities allow for materials evaluation and development from a wide variety of viewpoints as well as projects in biomechanics. In addition to laboratory analysis, medical and dental materials may be evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. In vivo evaluation may be performed using a wide variety of animal models. Human clinical evaluations of orthopaedic materials continue to be performed by clinical faculty at the Medical Center Hospital and dental materials are evaluated by clinical and basic science faculty in the School of Dentistry. Large scale dental materials clinical research may be performed in the School of Dentistry Clinical Dental Research Center (CDRC).
