Introduction

Welcome to the new website for the UK Society for Biomaterials.

We hope this will become a forum not just for information about the society and our annual conference but also to provide a wide range of information about the biomaterials community in the UK.

The June Wilson Award has been launched. This is an endowment from Professor Larry Hench in commemoration of his late wife's achievements in the field of biomedical materials research. Applicants must be female in an academic (sub-lecturer) or industrial post, working in the field of medical research with particular emphasis on biomaterials, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and/or histo-pathology techniques. Closing date is 1st December 2007.

The annual conference will take place at The University of Liverpool on the 26th-27th June 2008.

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.
