Themes:
The theme of this year’s meeting is Driving Innovation and the Race to Translation; a tribute to the city’s rich motor racing history. In keeping with that theme, the meeting will be organised into five thematic areas:
1. Translation: Focused on translating research from the lab to the clinic, advancing biomaterials in their product development life cycle
2. Biofabrication/Biomanufacturing: Manufacturing techniques e.g. nanoprinting, rapid prototyping, microfluidic based printing, etc.
3. Multi-Functional Biomaterial Design: Drug/gene delivery, biosensing, and complex tissue regeneration, etc.
4. Biocompatibility and Immune Engineering: How to harness/modulate the immune response (innate and adaptive) for biomaterial design or technology translation
5. Other topics of interest to the biomaterials community
