Surfaces and interfaces are widely recognized as key elements in biomaterials processes of primary importance toward the biological performances and clinical success of implants used for the replacement and the regeneration of diseased tissue and organs. This symposium wishes to address the role of surfaces and interfaces in several of these applications, bringing together scientists from different backgrounds so as to foster a multidisciplinary picture. This symposium will address the most advanced science and engineering challenges in the multidisciplinary aspects at the frontier between materials, processes, and applications. Transversal works and researches crossing the boarders between these fields are particularly encouraged.
