3G: Emerging Innovations and Translation in Orthopedic Biomaterials Science and Engineering

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 10:30am to 12:00pm
Room: Seaglass

About

The research and development in orthopedic biomaterials have greatly improved the health of orthopedic patients worldwide. This symposium will focus on the emerging technologies, methods, and scientific findings in the development of orthopedic biomaterials. Progress in biomaterials like metals (including degradable ones), ceramics, and polymers for orthopedic applications will be presented. Biomaterials that are responsive to local stimuli and are multi-functional will be sought. Emerging translational technologies will be highlighted, and technological and commercial challenges will be discussed. Mixed presentations from academia and industry, and from the U.S., Canada, China, Europe, and other countries are expected.
