8G: Cardiovascular Biomaterials SIG

Date: Saturday, March 28, 2026
Time: 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Room: GH East AB

Description

The Cardiovascular Biomaterials Special Interest Group has the mission to foster the professional interaction and address the common concerns of academic and industrial scientists and engineers, clinicians, and regulatory professionals concerned with the discovery, research, development, and use of biomaterials for cardiovascular devices and implants. This includes a broad range of cardiovascular biomaterial strategies used to guide stem cell differentiation, terminally-differentiated vascular cell phenotype, antibacterial properties, and inflammation and remodeling in vivo.
