Emerging Areas in Biomaterials: Reshaping Medicine and Human Health

ACS Webinars


The research and development of materials used in biomedical applications, or biomaterials, has seen rapid expansion and diversification over the last 20 years. From highly engineered synthetic polymers to biodegradable metals to naturally derived substances, their unique properties can be used for diverse functions and applications in medicine.

Join Qiongqiong Angela Zhou of CAS, Jiaxing Huang and Jian Yang of Westlake University in China, and Benjamin Cooper of Ortholevo for an overview of the current emerging trends in biomaterial research. Gain both academic and commercial perspectives on specific applications of biomaterials in personalized healthcare including orthopedics, wound care, and regenerative engineering.

This ACS Webinar is moderated by Janet Sasso of CAS and is co-produced with CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society.
