6F: Navigating the Path of Biomaterials and Medical Products

The Biomaterials and Medical Products Commercialization SIG aims to provide researchers with the necessary tools to take their ideas from concept to physical product to market-ready technology. This session will focus on highlighting the various considerations needed on a product's journey to commercialization including, but not limited to, sterilization and purification, product scale-up and robust manufacturing, product purification, quality control, regulatory considerations, reimbursement strategies, supply chain, and market adoption. Examples will be provided from members of academia and industry, from small start-ups to large organizations, and from numerous markets and end-use applications. This session will hopefully inform and inspire the SFB community as they start and/or continue down the path of product development and commercialization.
