1st Institute for Functional and Regenerative Materials Workshop

The UIC Institute for Functional and Regenerative Materials is thrilled to announce a dynamic workshop focused on the cutting-edge fields of functional imaging and functional biomaterials. This event is designed to bring together scientists, researchers and professionals with a shared interest in these innovative areas to foster learning, networking and collaboration.

RSVP required.

Over the past 50 years, new materials have permeated virtually every aspect of society, revolutionizing our communication, transportation, agricultural and health care sectors. This workshop focuses on two aspects of materials science. Functional imaging involves developing new advanced microscopy techniques to characterize the structure of adaptive, smart and biological materials. In contrast, functional biomaterials involve the development of novel materials that will interface with biological systems to improve tissue and organ function. The workshop will provide a forum for interaction between medical, engineering and physical science research groups.
