2D: Bioinspired Approaches to Supramolecular Biomaterials

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 - 2:45pm to 4:15pm
Room: Coral 1-2

About

Progress in cell and protein biology are fueling innovation of increasingly sophisticated and functional self-assembling, supramolecular biomaterials. Molecular-level control over their self-assembly dynamics and overall material/biological properties offers novel opportunities for cellular engineering, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration. This session will stimulate progress on cutting-edge bioinspired approaches to engineer the functionality, self-assembly dynamics, and stimuli-responsiveness of supramolecular biomaterials. We encourage contributions spanning the entire range of the research landscape, from progress on mining biological systems to extract new biomaterial design principles to new developments in the characterization and application of the resulting bioinspired supramolecular biomaterials.
