Session: Structural Design of Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering

This session invites abstracts focused on the development and evaluation of biomaterial scaffolds for regenerative medicine applications, including cell-instructive biomaterials, biomaterials for constructing tissue substitutes, biomaterials fabricated for/using 3D printing or bioprinting, and strategies to modulate biological processes involved in the host response. We encourage faculty candidates to submit abstracts directly to the general “Biomaterials: Faculty Candidates” session. Graduate Students: By applying to this session you may be eligible for the Biomaterials Graduate Student Award Session established to honor the best graduate student submissions through recognition and cash awards. To be considered for the award session, students must indicate in the abstract text to this session that they wish their abstract to also be considered for the award session and submit an application packet via e-mail by the abstract deadline. See the "Biomaterials: Graduate Student Award Session (Invited Talks)" session for full application instructions.
