Biomaterials science and bioceramic engineering have remained a frontier and growing area of research and innovation within the global engineering science community, considering the number of scientific discoveries and their societal impact. Significant attempts on bioceramics and composites have been made to re-create functional musculoskeletal systems with considerable potential to treat various types of human diseases, fabricate high-performance bio-inspired and biomimetic materials, confer new properties to materials and improve their performances, innovate new materials synthesis methods and manufacturing technologies, etc. This symposium will provide a platform to facilitate discussion among researchers from academia, hospitals, industry and medical device companies, involved in biomaterials, bioglasses, biomanufacturing, and biotechnological innovation, while inspiring many young researchers in this emerging field.
