New Jersey Center for Biomaterials' Symposium on Biomaterials Science

The New Jersey Center for Biomaterials at Rutgers University hosted the New Jersey Symposium on Biomaterial Science on November 9, 2015.  This event, held in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is a premier regional meeting that has gained global recognition for its broad scope, stimulating themes, and interdisciplinary attendance. The goal of the Symposium series is to exchange information and ideas across the full spectrum of scientists working in the biomaterials field, by focusing on research and development topics that represent the most current promising directions for ultimate medical application. Renowned researchers from academia, industry, government and the clinical arena will present their research and findings at focused and topical sessions. This level of focus and detail has ensured that attendees will find value in their participation.

In 2015, the Thirteenth Symposium explored the topic of The Promise and Challenge of Bioactive Materials with a special focus on translation and industrial technologies.
