Designing Biomaterial Complexity Across Scales of Length and Time for Clinical Impact

The 2019 GRC and GRS on Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering will bring together world-class clinicians, scientists and engineers to discuss materials-related strategies for tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and personalized medicine. The theme of the 2019 conference will be "Designing Biomaterial Complexity Across Scales of Length and Time for Clinical Impact" and will feature multidisciplinary efforts integrating stem cell biology, materials science, immunology, and biochemistry seeking to solve clinically relevant biomedical problems. Session topics include: Molecular Design of Biomaterials, Biomimicry, Microfabricated and Microphysiological Systems, Stem Cells, Translation and Commercialization, Engineered Tumor Models, and Emerging Biomaterial Trends. Additionally we have key committed speakers from fields just beyond the current edges of the Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering field, who we expect will help lead the rest of the attendees more deeply into these fields and who will enrich our scientific culture. The 2019 program also adheres to the GRC directive of holding vigorous formal and informal discussions between researchers at all career stages. There will be poster sessions organized on topical themes to match the session topics.
