STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that Biomaterials, a leading journal in the field of biomaterials science, will host Biomaterials Asia 2009. Scheduled for April 5-8, 2009, in Hong Kong, the event will highlight the latest Asian research developments, institutions, and individuals in biomaterials science.
Under the chairmanship of Professor David Williams, Editor-in-Chief of Biomaterials, the conference programme will focus on the interface between advanced materials science and biological science, bringing the latest expertise in advanced medical engineering, clinical sciences and regenerative medicine under one roof.
This event, with keynote speakers drawn from the world's best scientists, will provide an opportunity for researchers, technologists and clinicians in the fields of bioengineering, medical device technology, pharmaceutical science, tissue engineering and biomaterials science to explore and debate the latest scientific developments, translational science and commercial applications. Conference sessions will be modeled after the scientific sections defined by the journal.
Biomaterials covers the science and application of biomaterials and associated medical devices. The journal seeks to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of materials in clinical practice. The journal is relevant to all applications of biomaterials including implantable medical devices, tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
