European Conference on Biomaterials

Start: 
Sun, 2011/09/04 - Fri, 2011/09/09
Location: 
Dublin, Ireland

As you are all aware, these are significant times as we are at the crossroads of new understandings at cellular and molecular levels coupled with interesting concepts in scaffolding technologies with the advances in nanotechnology and the ever-present need to drive existing technologies towards clinical translation. In addition, the biomaterials paradigm is ever-changing with new clinical targets and applications. The conference programme is designed to reflect these developments and challenges. Specific topics will include recent advances in the use of biomaterials for therapeutics; vascularisation, innervations, and tissue integration; advances in nanotechnology and materials science; host response, and lessons from translational research of the existing paradigms.

The meeting will offer delegates innovative and stimulating topics with a well-balanced programme of plenary speakers, oral presentations, rapid-fire-sessions, poster sessions and educational workshops. In addition, there will be Young Scientist Forum (YSF) activities that will stimulate and engage the next generation of researchers. The social programme will provide an exciting taste of what Ireland has to offer. I also hope that delegates will take the opportunity to discover other parts of Ireland by extending their stay.

Thanks to the San Diego Zoo for the pointer!
