1F: Immunomodulatory Biomaterials 1
Time: 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Description
This session will highlight recent advances in the design and application of biomaterials that actively shape immune responses for therapeutic benefit. These biomaterials will span natural and synthetic materials engineered to modulate both innate and adaptive immunity in contexts including tissue repair, regenerative medicine, autoimmune disease, allergies, cancer immunotherapy, and transplantation. Topics will include, but are not limited to, the delivery of immunomodulators and imaging agents, antigen delivery, scaffolds for immunomodulation, microbiome modulation, combination therapies, cell-based therapies, and hydrogels for driving immune cell recruitment and polarization.
