Second International
Conference on New Biomedical Materials
58 April 2003, Cardiff,
Wales, United Kingdom
This conference will bring
together scientists who have contributed numerous innovative
and exciting advances in the field of biomedical materials.
Diverse topics will be covered including studies of cell interactions
with biomaterials. The assessment of the potential applications
for the development of new biomaterials, tissue engineering,
and future medical devices and biosensors will be discussed.
It will also provide an opportunity to discuss the latest
developments in the field and the vision for the future. By
linking basic and applied research together this conference
is aimed at the stimulation of activity and research on biomedical
materials. The interdisciplinary nature of the conference
will encourage scientific interchange and cross-fertilization
of ideas.
Topics to be covered include:
1 The Need: orthopaedic
applications; cardiovascular applications; haemocompatible
materials; extracorporeal systems; artificial organs, wound
dressings; drug delivery, dental and oral healthcare, and
biosensors
2 Basic Research Studies:
cell interactions with surfaces, such as bones, polymers;
cells involved in wound healing cell movement; cell interactions
with other cells; molecular recognition, peptide mimicry;
drug delivery, surface plasmon resonance studies; atomic
force microscopy; and vibrational spectroscopy
3 Applied Research Studies:
bone research; cement; hip replacements; hearing aids; cardiovascular;
wound dressings, new smart materials, artificial organs,
and biosensors
