INEB is hosting the 9th Advanced Summer Course in Cell-Materials Interactions. The course was designed for those who have an interest in the application of biomaterials, especially in cell-material interactions. This year it will focus on bioinspired matrices for tissue regeneration.
It is now recognized that a better knowledge of cell ecology, and in particular of the spatial and temporal microenvironments present in the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), is essential for the design of ECM analogues for regenerative therapies.
Lectures will provide a perceptive overview, as well as an in-depth knowledge on the innovative strategies being currently investigated in this challenging field. Molecular self-assembling matrices, nanostructured biomaterials, synthetic ECM analogues, as well as bioprocessors for self-renewal and differentiation of adult and embryonic stem cells, are some of the cutting-edge scientific topics that will be discussed.
As in the previous editions, laboratory sessions in relevant techniques will be available for a limited number of participants.
