Biomaterial Innovations for Women’s and Children’s Health: Translation from Idea to the Clinic

Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Room: Dover A-C, 3rd Floor

About

Biomaterials research to address problems in the area of women's and children’s health remains underserved, requiring further attention from the scientific community to advance progress in this field. Women’s and children’s health requires a physiologically appropriate approach in the research and development of devices and medical therapies. These requirements are unique and do not lend themselves well to simply adapting those initially designed for adult males, which innovations in biomaterials can address. This session explores research into medical devices, therapeutics, and drug delivery systems specifically targeting the women’s and child health patient population, from research innovation, through prototypes to clinical delivery. This session will stimulate discussion in areas including but not limited to pelvic floor disorders, breast reconstruction, reproductive health and contraception, new fertility treatments, maternal-fetal interface models, and more. The ability to achieve the “bench to bedside” requires a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements for devices, therapeutics and biologics. This session seeks to include discussion on the processes of innovation, development and full clinical implementation to achieve impactful changes in women’s and children’s health

Biomaterials for Organoids

Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Room: Essex A-C, 4th Floor

About

Three-dimensional ex vivo organoid cultures using biomaterial-based assembly and self-assembly have been shown to resemble and recapitulate most of the functionality of diverse multicellular tissues and organs, such as the gut, brain, liver, kidney, and lung. Organoids bridge a gap in existing model systems by providing a more stable system amenable to extended cultivation and manipulation while more representative of in vivo physiology. This session will cover the most recent advancements of biomaterials-mediated organoid and tissue chip technologies in regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, drug testing, environmental control, monitoring, adaptive sensing, and translational applications. This topic was well-received in the 2021 SFB meeting and is an exciting emerging research area. In 2022, we will continue this session and promote translational research to biomaterials-mediated organoid projects' commercial viability.
