Symposium H


New Trends in Biomaterials and Nanomaterials Applied to Biosystems


Scope:

The symposium will provide a platform for discussing current advancements and future trends in biomaterials for biomedical and dental applications and nanomaterials applied to biosystems. Through the synergistic approach of applied chemistry and physics, material science, electronics, mechanical engineering, biochemistry and medicine, this symposium about biomaterials includes how the deeper insight into biological events and its interplay with nanotechnology may support the development of a generation of novel materials, micro-nano-devices and molecular level approaches suited to solve relevant biomedical problems both for therapy and diagnostics. New materials also play an important role in veterinary, agriculture, biotechnology, smart packaging, food industry and natural environment. The subject matter of the symposium reflects the wide range and transdisciplinary nature of research in materials science and engineering applied to biological systems. The symposium will provide an excellent opportunity to meet and establish collaboration with large number of experts with several specializations including engineering, basic sciences, pharmacists, medical and dental professionals, etc.
