Biodegradable and Bio-reactive Smart Materials

Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
Room: Kent A-C, 4th Floor

About

Has the future arrived where implantable biomaterials degrade on cue or materials adapt to the physical, chemical and/or mechanical environment? Do they react to physiological stimuli to assist with treatment? This could be scaffolds that stay or go depending on the need in the local environment. It could be materials that get stronger with exercise. It could be drug delivery only as needed based on physiological triggers. If you have been working on bioactive, biodegradable, or reactive biomaterials at any stage of research then submit an abstract for this session. Those abstracts that can show variation in modification of the behavior of the material for a clinical purpose have the best chance of being accepted.

Biomaterials for Pancreatic Islet Replacement and Immune Tolerance in T1D-1

Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
Room: Harborside Ballroom D-E, 4th Floor

About

The advent of new sources of beta cells, including from stem cells, has greatly advanced the potential of beta cell replacement as a functional cure for type 1 diabetes and some forms of type 2 diabetes. A major barrier that remains to be solved is blocking or modulating immune effectors while simultaneously promoting islet survival and function. Biomaterials play a central role in addressing this challenge, as vehicles for islet delivery, as microenvironments supportive of islet function, and as sites of immune modulation.

Biomaterials for Regenerative Engineering 2

Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
Room: Harborside Ballroom A – B, 4th Floor

About

Regenerative engineering aims to develop functional, bioactive, and instructive biomaterials and approaches for the regeneration of tissues through a convergence of engineering, medicine, developmental biology, and stem cell science. This symposium will highlight recent trends in developing functional biomaterials that play an active role in controlling cellular behaviors and tissue regeneration. We will include different classes of biomaterials such as proteins, polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, fibers, metals, ceramics, and hydrogels for applications in regenerative engineering. This session will also highlight the biomaterials that can direct cell fate and promote differentiation. Moreover, the biomaterials that can facilitate drug delivery and immunomodulation will be covered through oral and poster presentations. During the symposium, translational strategies for handling these biomaterials from ‘Bench to Bedside’ will also be addressed. We expect that our interdisciplinary session, including material science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine, will be of great significance to clinicians, industry members, and academia.

Room: Dover A-C, 4th Floor

About

Stopping bleeding (hemostasis) and providing spatio-temporal wound care via passive and/or bioactive mechanisms is an important translational area of biomaterials-based technologies and includes external, intracavitary and intravascular hemostats, dressings, powders, foams, fibers and gels. The goal of this session is to highlight recent advances in biomaterials, biosystems/microdevices and related technologies that focus on hemostasis, thrombosis, and/or wound healing. The proposed session will invite presentations from researchers in this field that emphasize biomaterials design, structure-property-function relationships, device/technology design, and relevant translation pathways. Presentations focused on material considerations for microdevices for investigating hemostatic pathways are also of interest for this session.

Panel Discussion: The Commercialization Highway - How to Navigate your Discovery to the Marketplace

Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
Room: Waterview Ballroom, Ground

About

Not all great ideas are generated, or excellent research is conducted at top universities and institutes. When it happens elsewhere, the researchers involved are often less able to acquire capital or the means to commercialize their innovations due to their institutional affiliation. Smaller, less-established universities face numerous challenges attracting venture capital investment for their researchers' spin-off and student-led startups. The panel will focus on the issues facing small and mid-sized colleges, as well as equity, diversity and inclusion issues facing researchers who are not well-represented in academic spin-off activities. Panelists will include speakers from states that were once left behind in their biosciences sector but have made significant improvements in developing their bioscience and biomaterial commercialization successes and have strategically positioned themselves in niche areas. Other impediments posed by regulatory requirements and potential issues with ethics, scientific integrity, and inclusion during biomaterials research, development, and commercialization will be addressed.
