5B: Biomaterials for Regenerative Engineerings 1

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 3:45pm to 5:45pm
Room: Silver Pearl 2

About

Regenerative engineering aims to develop functional, bioactive, and instructive biomaterials and approaches for the regeneration of tissues through the convergence of engineering, medicine, developmental biology, and stem cell science. This symposium will highlight recent trends in developing functional biomaterials that play an active role in controlling cellular behaviors and tissue regeneration. We will include different classes of biomaterials such as proteins, polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, fibers, metals, ceramics, and hydrogels for applications in regenerative engineering. This session will also highlight the biomaterials that can direct cell fate and promote differentiation. Moreover, oral and poster presentations will cover the biomaterials that can facilitate drug delivery and immunomodulation. Translational strategies for taking these biomaterials from ‘Bench to Bedside’ will also be discussed during the symposium. We expect our interdisciplinary session, including material science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine, will be of great significance to clinicians, industry members and academia.
