Biointerfaces Conference

This interdisciplinary and international conference is a unique opportunity to strengthen bridges between different disciplines of the life sciences domain, particularly between the University Hospital Zurich and the University of Zurich with the ETH. In addition to the diversity of science and engineering, special emphasis will be laid on the gender-balanced education of students and early-career scientists, which encourages and allows them to emerge as independent scientists. Biological surfaces and interfaces: where synthetic materials and biological systems interact with each other - one of the most innovative and expanding areas of science and Technology. Biointerfaces International 2018 Conference follows a special format: it aims to build bridges across relevant application areas, between science & engineering, among scientific discovery, Innovation & technology, and between senior scientists & early-career researchers. Both internationally highly renowned and young scientists from academia, industry and clinics present their latest, often unpublished scientific findings and technological breakthroughs. All speakers begin their talks with a General introduction that does not require specialised knowledge to follow. The focus of this conference is education across the many fields of relevance to biological surfaces and interfaces.
