Succesful joint symposium with Instituto Biofisika
On June, 19 we hosted the ‘Processes and Materials for Life’ symposium, organized jointly with Instituto Biofisika. The goal of the symposium was to share the common knowledge of both centers on cutting-edge research with potential applications in healthcare, sustainability and beyond.
The talks covered a wide range of topics that shape the future of life sciences, from responsive polymer brushes to electroactive biomaterials. The program included very interesting presentations by Instituto Biofisika and BCMaterials researchers, as well as keynote speakers from the University of Newcastle and UNSW in Australia, and the North Carolina State University in the USA.
The event also served as a way to establish new connections between both organizing entities and to seed future collaborations.
