2C: Bioinspired Materials for Therapeutics
Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2026
Time: 3:45 PM to 5:15 PM
Time: 3:45 PM to 5:15 PM
Session Type: Concurrent Session 2
Description
Drawing inspiration from natural systems, researchers have engineered materials that mimic biological structures and functions to enhance tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and wound healing. The session showcases innovations in smart hydrogels, self-healing polymers, and nanocomposites that respond dynamically to physiological environments. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches combining materials science, biology, and engineering to address clinical challenges.
