3D: Biomaterials for Neural Engineering
Time: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Description
Engineered biomaterials are uniquely positioned for use in creating, testing, stimulating, and regenerating neural tissue with applications like in vitro models of injury and disease, tissue engineering, therapeutic treatments, understanding neural development, and mapping or recording the brain. This session will focus on cutting edge research in neural biomaterials including fundamental material development and fabrication through pre-clinical and clinical studies spanning materials from small molecules to extracellular mimetics to neural interfaces. Such materials may be applied to big questions surrounding understanding and treating diseases and injuries of the peripheral and central nervous systems including drug, biologic, and therapeutic delivery or interventions.
