It is with pleasure that we announce the award for the Alan Wilson Memorial Lecture this year will be given to Prof Sanjuka Deb, King’s College London to recognise her work and contribution to the UK Biomaterials field in celebration of the life and career of the outstanding dental materials scientist Dr Alan Wilson OBE (1928-2011).
I look forward to hearing about Prof Deb’s latest work as she joins us at #UKSB2022.
It is our pleasure to announce this years UKSB Presidents prize will be awarded to Prof Paul Hatton from the University of Sheffield.
We will hear about Prof. Hatton’s vast experience of the biomaterials world, from the fundamentals of biomaterials science to working with clinical partners. This prize will recognize his absolutely outstanding contributions to the field during his career, and I look forward to the many stories and anecdotes he might tell.
We are delighted to announce some of the fabulous speakers at this years annual conference.
Alongside this very special anniversary event for the Society, we welcome many of the founding society members who established the basis of this community now 22 years ago.

We had intended on holding a 20th Anniversary meeting in 2020 but clearly our plans were halted with all the restrictions, and we thought that it would be much better to celebrate together when we can – and here we are planning the event for this summer!
