6E: Nanomaterials SIG

The goal of this session is to exchange ideas involving the unique science and technology present in biomaterials at the nanoscale. Abstracts collectively focused on nanoscale discovery, design, and application are welcome. More specifically, 1) discoveries at the nanoscale and their connection to macroscale properties and behaviors of biomaterials; 2) design and synthesis of nanobiomaterials as relevant for improved devices, diagnostics and therapeutics; and 3) application of nanomaterials to achieve intended biological significance and medical impact. Of particular interest is translational research on nanomaterials effects in the body, including tracking, biodistribution, toxicity, and theranostics. Additional interest lies in the use of multiscale modeling in connecting nanoscale structures and phenomena with macroscale systems in biology and medicine.
