4F: Regenerative Biomaterials for Complex Tissue Regeneration 1
Time: 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Description
This symposium will focus on the most recent advances in the design of regenerative biomaterials for engineering challenging tissues and organs. From pancreas to liver and spinal cord, approaches including functional materials, 3D-bioprinting, gene therapy, and nanomaterials, among many others, will be included. We will highlight the recent trends in the development of functional biomaterials that play active role in controlling cellular behavior and complex tissue regeneration. We will cover different classes of biomaterials including the ones that can direct cell fate and promote differentiation. Translational strategies for taking these biomaterials from bench to bedside will also be discussed. Significant international contributions will be selected to facilitate fruitful discussions aiming to progress the advance of the field and to assist the generation of new productive and multidisciplinary collaborations.
