Animating Materials
Nicholas P. Ziats, PhD
2011 Program Chair
Case Western Reserve University
The theme for the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Society For Biomaterials is “Animating Materials”, a decidedly Disney-esque flair to reflect the 2011 meeting site and to highlight the Society’s emphasis on “Giving Life to a World of Materials.” The Annual Meeting focuses on fostering development of new implant materials and devices for improvement of the human condition. The meeting program will include the latest innovations in materials science, molecular and cell biology and engineering, new opportunities and mechanisms for translation of these findings to new or improved medical treatments, and engagement of attendees from industry and academia to accelerate the translation of research to clinical applications. The meeting format will include Symposia, General Sessions, Workshops, Panel Discussions, and Tutorials, covering all aspects of basic, applied, and translational biomaterials science.
