To improve the lives of patients, scientific research must have practical applications. Discoveries made at “the bench” must ultimately find their way to the patient's “bedside.” From September 11th to the 13th 2008, the Society For Biomaterials will host a three day symposium in Atlanta (Buckhead), Georgia which will focus not only on expediting this process, but also on the new and emerging technologies in the biomaterials field that are currently in the midst of such translation.
Invited keynote speakers will address topics relevant to both academic researchers and medical device manufacturers. Clinical Application sessions will focus on the latest clinical research. Technology Rapid Fire sessions will focus on research advances that are on the brink of clinical application. The symposium will also feature workshops designed to provide an in-depth education on specific topics, and panel discussions to encourage debate.
