SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM ] |
|
| Biomaterials
are an attractive subject of study for chemists, engineers,
pharmacists, biologists, physicians and others. They have been
widely used in medicine, biotechnology and pharmacy. This symposium
is designed to highlight the latest discoveries and developments
in the science and application of biomedical materials. This
symposium will cover biomaterials for drug/gene delivery, biomaterials
for tissue engineering, nano-biomaterials, stimuli-sensitive
biomaterials and biomaterials for stem cell research. In the
present symposium, participants are assured to have an excellent
opportunity to exchange knowledge and make useful contacts with
those from various sectors of academia and industry from all
over the world. |
