This symposium addresses the growing interest of science and industry in the different aspects of the creation, characterization, testing, and application of biomaterials and closely related areas. The current state of progress and novel trends in the development, characterization, evaluation and regulation, application, testing, and modeling of biomaterials in basic science and industry will be discussed. This gathering of knowledge is supported by the DGM expert committee on biomaterials.
