Co-organizers Drs. Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez and Melissa Grunlan invite you to attend the 2012 Biomaterials Day, Friday July 27 at Rice University. Sponsored by the Society for Biomaterials (SFB), this year’s symposium offers networking opportunities, a poster competition, and presentations by leading engineers, physicians, and scientists in the field who will showcase ongoing research in the region. Awards will be given for best undergrad and graduate posters. Abstracts are due July 9.SFB officially initiated the Biomaterials Day program in 2008 to highlight cutting-edge research and increase student interest in biomaterials careers. Travel grants are available for out-of-town students.
Download the flyer or visit the Biomaterials Symposium website to learn more and register for the symposium.
