About
This symposium is focused on biostructured biomaterials and surfaces. We aim at creating an excellent forum for the debate of the cutting edge research on nano and biotechnologies applied to the development of new, smarter and super effective biomaterials able to overcome clinically-oriented unsolved problems or elegant new technologies maximizing the efficacy of minimally-invasive clinical therapies.
