Aerogels for biomedical applications
Aerogels are a special class of nanostructured materials with very high porosity and tunable physicochemical properties. Research in aerogels is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field combining engineering, chemistry, physics, medicine, life sciences and including regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In this training school we will share presentations of experts working with fabrication and characterization, pharmaceutical applications, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, biomaterials, scaffolds, and cell-surface interactions. It is a unique opportunity to discover and exploit the new frontiers of this exciting field and to highlight the relevance of Aerogels expertise of Aerogels-COST partners to advance the state of the art of materials for biomedical applications. Joint contribution of European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE) will also be possible.
