RSC Biomaterials Chemistry Group  19th Annual Meeting

8th – 10th January 2025  Burlington House, Piccadilly, London




 

RSC Biomaterials Chemistry Group

The RSC Biomaterials Chemistry Special Interest Group was set up in 2005 to provide a focus for groups in UK universities and industry working on the synthesis and characterisation of biomaterials. The group aims to enhance the understanding of the chemistries underlying the use of biomaterials in applications including prostheses, drug delivery and regenerative medicine.

Annual Meetings

Annual meetings of the group are designed to promote biomaterials chemistry research and development, enhance existing links, foster new collaborations and spread expertise. Meetings give participants the opportunity to present new work, discuss data and help to shape the future of research in this important and vibrant area of chemistry. 

Abstract submission

Abstract are invited from all Biomaterials Chemistry areas. To submit abstracts and to register for the event please visit the RSC event page.
