Introduction

Welcome to the website for the UK Society for Biomaterials.

At each annual conference in addition to best postgraduate poster and oral presentations, we award a Presidents Prize and Biocompatibles Endowed Prize. The Presidents Prize aims to recognise outstanding contributions to the UK Biomaterials field. The Biocompatibles Endowed Prize recognises researchers with an industrial link to their research who have made significant contributions to the UK Biomaterials field.

The 2012 annual conference location will be the University of Nottingham, 27-28 June organised by Dr Colin Scotchford. We are seeking nominations for prizes - see conference page for details.
