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 C
(Nano)-materials for Biomedical Applications ( NanoBio Symposium-XVII B-MRS Meeting)
Scope of the Symposium
Currently, nanotechnology has been responsible for an unprecedented positive impact in healthcare advances, by merging fundamental and applied sciences as complementary tools envisioning an enhanced quality of life. Recently, a broader spectrum of high performance nanomaterials and material-based nanosystems has been engineered with interests in medical and health-related fields. At the same time, there has been a shift in importance from designing exclusively bioinert materials to instead producing complex bioactive building blocks for mimicking target functions. In this context, this symposium is mainly focused on discussing the latest advances on the next generation of biomedical nanomaterials including their different fabrication approaches and applications. Furthermore, we welcome investigations focusing on the design and characterization of novel biomedical materials and devices as well as their structure-property relationships with biological responses. In addition, a great emphasis will be given to the design of novel (bio)-nanomaterials as potential candidates to integrate multifunctional devices targeting self-assembly materials. Relevant topics include, but not restricted to, biocompatible materials, nanotechnology and drug delivery, tissue engineering and regenerative materials, sensors and biosensors, biomimetics and, materials in orthopedics and clinical dentistry.
