TT.IX - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
Biomaterials
Co-organized with Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro
in cooperation with SIRTEPS e SITELF

Chair: Massimo LA DEDA, University of Calabria
Biomaterials, encompassing both natural and synthetic origins, are making remarkable strides in the biomedical field through advancements in their modification and functionalization. These developments include the engineering of materials to enhance their properties, such as increased biocompatibility, controlled degradation rates, and specific interactions with biological tissues. Recent innovations focus on modifying biomaterials at the molecular level to improve their performance, including the incorporation of bioactive molecules that promote tissue regeneration and the application of surface modifications to enhance cellular adhesion and integration. Additionally, functionalization techniques are enabling the creation of responsive biomaterials that react to physiological stimuli, offering exciting possibilities for targeted drug delivery and personalized medical treatments. This session provides new insights about how these advancements are pushing the boundaries of medical technology, leading to more effective, personalized, and durable solutions in healthcare
