Drug Delivery Australia, hosted by the Australian Chapter of the Controlled Release Society, will hold its annual conference in Sydney 27-28th October 2016

On behalf of the organising committee, we would like to invite you to join us at Nanoparticle Therapeutics 2016, making clinical translation a reality.

The conference is in tropical north Queensland (Palm Cove) from the 23^rd to 26^th October 2016.

This conference is designed to bring together experts in Nanoparticle Therapeutics from people working at the laboratory bench through to clinical trials, government regulation and implementation in the clinic.

This meeting of around 50 participants involves an exemplary scientific program comprising invited international and local speakers, and offers an important training platform for early career researchers to present their results and to be exposed to “cutting edge” research. Awards for best ECR/student are now available.

Social events for enhancing interactions with the delegates include a trip to the local crocodile and wild-life park, not to be missed.

Early bird registration has been extended for 1 week until the 12^th of August

We are pleased to announce the 4^th Symposium on Innovative Polymers for Controlled Delivery (SIPCD 2016).

SIPCD held biennially since 2010 has been established as a high-level conference in the fields of biomaterials, controlled drug delivery, protein and cell delivery, gene delivery, polymer-based diagnostics, and tissue engineering.

SIPCD 2016 will be held in the Worldhotel Grand Dushulake, Suzhou (China) on the 23–26 September 2016. The event will welcome about 550 participants from all over the world, and has planned 4 plenary and 27 keynote lectures by leading experts.

The symposium is organised in one single session, thus offering the possibility to be present at all invited lectures and to participate in lively discussions about the most recent developments as well as challenges in innovative delivery.

Biomaterials Science is proud to sponsor this conference and hopes this conference is a great success for the biomaterials science community.

We are delighted to announce the 1^st Biomaterials for Healthcare Conference (BioMaH 2016): “Biomaterials for tissue engineering and the role of nanotechnology“.

This conference will be held from 17^th to 20^th October 2016 in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy.

The event will cover various issues regarding innovative materials and approaches for tissue regeneration. Its scope is to create a stage for exchanging the latest research results and sharing advanced research methods.

Participants from various countries are expected to attend the conference, among them leading researchers in the biomaterials science field, manufacturers from orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, dentistry and pharmaceuticals, engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, surgeons, physicians, dentists and other clinical personnel, closely connected with the application of biomaterials.

Biomaterials Science is proud to sponsor 3 special prizes for the best posters in this exciting Biomaterials for Healthcare Conference. The winners will receive a certificate and free access to the journal for one year.

The UK Society for Biomaterials will be holding their 15^th annual conference from the 30^th June – 1^st July at the University of Westminster, London.

Journal of Materials Chemistry B and Biomaterials Science will be providing sponsorship in the form of a poster prize certificate and a year’s free access to the journal.

Professor Ipsita Roy from the University of Westminster is organising the conference and has included some special features for this year which are below:

• A dedicated Larry Hench session;
• ReBiostent session (an EU FP7 project); (on biodegradable drug eluting stents)
• KTN session dedicated to the industry/clinicians and
• A dedicated cell oriented session for TCES/ECPS members.

Professor Roy intends to promote a ‘varied experience of both excellent research in the area of biomaterials including state of art, innovative work with synthetic and natural polymers, complemented with their application in the production of near to market products including medical devices, tissue engineering scaffolds and controlled delivery constructs’.
