Numerous biomaterials have been developed for tissue regeneration, drug delivery and diagnostic applications. Although there has been a great progress in material innovation and pre-clinical testing, there has been limited clinical translation of biomaterial-based therapeutics and devices. Several biological and technological challenges have contributed to this huge gap between pre-clinical and clinical success. Additionally, there has been a lack of knowledge regarding the regulatory process and guidelines in the biomedical community. This often results in the development of technologies that address the unmet need but are highly complex and fail the rigorous regulatory process. Conference aims to discuss progress in the development of materials intended for various biomedical applications, general concepts and regulatory guidelines related to clinical translation of biomaterials-based therapeutics and devices, highlight ethical considerations in translational biomedical research, and provide timely and detailed information on the latest advances in clinical translation of biomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
Established in 2019, Somaiya Vidyavihar University, Mumbai, is a self-financed university recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Somaiya Vidyavihar, with over six decades of rich experience in building and managing educational institutes of great repute, is the sponsoring body. Operational from Somaiya Vidyavihar University is a place where you can explore new possibilities, pursue your passion and above all, find yourself.
The primary objective of SBAOI is to cultivate an ecosystem nationwide for the growth of fundamental and technology-oriented research in Biomaterials and Artificial Organs. Another mandate is to serve as platform for the stakeholders, like clinicians, industry professionals, together with researchers from academia and national labs. This can accelerate translational research in the emerging field of significant societal relevance. Know More
The Somaiya Centre for Integrated Science Education and research (SciSER) is formed with the vision of preparing professionals & researchers with unique skill sets in integrated sciences. Currently if offers a unique BS-MS dual degree programme. The emphasis of the programme is on conceptual understanding, rather than rote learning. It focuses on developing critical thinking to encourage logical decision-making & innovation.
The Department of Polymer Science has been offering a post-graduate full-time 2-year Industry-Academia Joint-Taught Programme which aims to provide the student with specialised skills in the polymer field. Taking into account the needs of the industry and the direction of the leading scientific achievements, the course has been designed to capitalise on research strengths. The course focuses on various specialisations of the polymer field and concludes with an independent research project related to these areas.
S K Somaiya College, founded in 2019, is a constituent college of Somaiya Vidyavihar University. It offers diverse educational undergraduate and postgraduate programmes curated and developed by a large number of eminent teachers and experts from the industry who are serving on the statutory academic bodies in various fields.
Department of Mechanical Engineering imparts the skills and expertise in the areas of design, manufacturing, and thermal sciences that are the backbone of most sectors of the industry. The department is committed to providing quality education in mechanical engineering that enables students to achieve excellence in their field of specialization
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at the University serves as the pivotal body overseeing and enhancing quality assurance and enhancement initiatives. It spearheads the development and implementation of robust quality processes for both academic and administrative functions, ensuring continuous improvement through periodic reviews and corrective measures.
The technical program will run in four sessions, with 1 Plenary, 3 Keynote, 12 Invited Lectures, oral and poster presentation sessions and a panel discussion on “Challenges in translation of medical technologies” by experts from Clinical, Industry, regulatory and Research setups.
Conference is intended for medical professionals, scientists, engineers, industrial personnel, entrepreneurs, research scholars and UG/PG students who have interest and are involved in the development of biomaterials for various biomedical applications.
Best Presentation Award will be conferred during the conference.
