Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium B
Advanced Materials and Surfaces for Tissue Replacement and Regeneration in Health
Scope of the Symposium
Biomaterials have improved or safe the life of millions around the globe. For bone of blood contact applications, astonishing results have been achieved in the past decades. For example, the worldwide incidence of bone disorders has increased in last years and it will remain raising in the future, particularly in aging populations. For blood contact applications, antithrombotic surfaces are still in development after 40 years of research and studies. Therefore, through the adequate combination of biomaterials, cells and growth factors, new therapies aimed at enhancing tissue repair, organ replacement or regeneration allow us to imagine advanced clinical treatments.
This symposium will focus on advanced biomaterials and surface modifications for tissue regeneration, including biomimetic materials, emerging metallic alloys, ceramics, natural and synthetic polymers, composites, and adhesives, as well as their interactions with proteins, blood, cells and mineral tissues.
By gathering together clinicians, biologists, materials researchers, engineers and industrials, this symposium will highlight the most recent advances on biomaterials for bone and blood-contact strategies for tissue replacement and regeneration.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- Synthesis and characterization of novel biomaterials, including materials from natural sources and biomass
- Bio-imaging for biomaterial assessment and clinical follow-up
- Biomimetic approaches for the development of new surfaces and new biomaterials
- Smart and responsive materials for tissue replacement and regeneration
- Interface between biomaterials and living cells and tissues
- Biomaterials-protein interactions
- Mechanical behavior of biomaterials, conventional and non-conventional (relaxation, visco-elastic, visco-plastic, cyclic, and others) assessment testing
- Degradation of biomaterials, including new class of degradable metals
- Clinical evaluation of new biomaterials
- Scaffolds and bioreactors for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
