3F: Smart Biomaterials
Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 10:30am to 12:00pm
Room: Coral 5
About
Smart biomaterials (i.e., targeted, stimuli-, bio-responsive, autonomous) are those that change one or more of their properties in response to a stimulus. These biomaterial systems have great potential for the efficient delivery of therapeutics, increasing therapeutic activity, while decreasing toxicity and other adverse effects like drug resistance. This session will describe the state-of-the-art on the design, development, and application of smart biomaterials in different areas of medicine including tissue engineering, drug delivery, medical devices, tissue regeneration, antimicrobial, remineralization, self-healing, and immune engineering.
