About

The Dental/Craniofacial Biomaterials Special Interest Group focuses on basic, applied, and clinical biomaterials research using approaches ranging from synthetic materials to biological mechanisms of therapy, and including materials/biological constructs and tissue structure-function analyses as biomimetic/design bases. Each of these approaches converge into the larger objective of restoring oral tissue structure and function. Issues related to materials used or having potential for use intra-orally or extra-orally for the restoration, fixation, replacement, or regeneration of hard and soft tissues in and about the oral cavity and craniofacial region are included. New dental biomaterials technologies include advanced inorganic and organic materials, biomimetics, smart materials, tissue engineering, drug delivery strategies and surface modified materials.

2E: Sex, Ancestral & Geographical Determinants in Biomaterials Research

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 - 2:45pm to 4:15pm
Room: Coral 3-4

About

The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has reintroduced/continued the conversation about the health inequities that disproportionately affect individuals based on social determinants of health like gender, race, and socioeconomic background. From an engineering and scientific perspective, biological sex and genetic ancestral differences can be used to shed light on differences between patient populations, as these variables have been shown to result in differences in both disease prevalence and manifestation. Yet, our mechanistic knowledge of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms involved, and how these differences lead to performance differences for biomaterials, remain poorly characterized. This session will showcase the current status and future of purposefully designed biomaterials to address both health and healthcare disparities and study their underlying causes. This session will encompass a diverse portfolio of topics including (but not limited to) the design of sex- and ancestry- specific cellular microenvironments, the development of sex-specific drug delivery approaches, and the fabrication of biomaterials to address challenges in global health.

2H: Applied Biomaterials for Microphysiological Systems

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 - 2:45pm to 4:15pm
Room: Shorebreak

About

Microphysiological systems (MPSs) are systems, often microfluidic in nature, of interconnected 2D or 3D cellular constructs designed to recapitulate the multi-tissue structure and function of one or more organ systems. MPSs, also commonly referred to as organs-on-a-chip or in vitro organ constructs (including organoids), have the potential to revolutionize the translational pathway for novel biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and biopharmaceuticals by minimizing or even negating the need for small animal testing. Topics include, but are not limited to, cutting-edge biomaterials-based strategies to recapitulate native and pathological (i.e., disease model) tissue structures and functions in MPSs and translational applications of biomaterials-based MPSs.
