Nanomaterials offer a broad range of properties that can differ dramatically from their bulk counterparts. Many of these properties are potentially attractive for biomedical applications, from biosensing, to tissue engineering, to drug delivery, to photothermal therapy. At the heart of these applications is a harnessing of the basic engineering sciences to image, design, synthesize, and manipulate nanomatierials. This symposium aims to bring together experts across the range of engineering science disciplines to discuss the state-of-the-art in development of functional and biologically inspired nanomaterials for biomedical applications. The symposium will highlight challenges spanning from design of novel nanobiomaterials, to fabrication, to implantation and delivery. Computational and analytical challenges will be a special focus. Topics will include:
- Design, analysis, and applications of functional biomaterials
- Cell-nanomaterial interactions
- Self-assembly
- Simulation of nanomaterials for biomedical applications
- Nanomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
- Nanoparticles as drug delivery carriers
- Biomimetic nanomaterials
