A. Biomedical Biomaterials
Biomedical biomaterials play a critical role in current and future clinical devices and treatments that improve quality of life after disease or injury. These materials range from natural (i.e., collagen, alginate, silk, and chitosan) to synthetic (i.e., polymers, metals, and ceramics) as well as being bio-absorbable or non-absorbable. This session focuses on the innovations at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering that will propel the field into the next generation of biomedical biomaterials and their use in developing forthcoming devices and treatments for clinical use.

B. Biomechanics and Sports Medicine
An interdisciplinary field that integrates principles of scientific research in biomechanics, engineering, and clinical applications aimed at understanding and optimizing human performance, preventing injuries, and promoting recovery in athletes and individuals engaged in physical activity. It includes the mechanical principles of biological systems, e.g., how forces interact with the body during movement and exercise. Contributions may involve the use of motion capture, force plates, and computer simulations to analyze human movement patterns, joint kinetics, muscle function, and the impact of sports equipment on performance. Evidence-based training protocols, injury prevention strategies, and rehabilitation techniques for athletes, workers, and geriatric patients are also welcome. Other topics of interest include the design, test, and validation of equipment and technologies that enhance athletic performance, reduce injury risk, and aid in rehabilitation; specialized equipment such as footwear, protective gear, and orthotic devices that optimize biomechanical efficiency and support injury prevention; advanced materials and technologies like wearable sensors and biomechanical modeling software used to analyze and improve athletic performance and safety; and the intersection of bioengineering with the treatment and prevention of sports-related injuries and conditions, including biomechanical assessments and rehabilitation programs.

C. Regenerative and Tissue Engineering
Regenerative Engineering is a multidisciplinary platform aiming to facilitate the development of novel technologies towards tissue regeneration as well as de novo biofabrication of living tissues and organs. Stemming from a classical tissue engineering concept (cells, scaffolds, signaling molecules and the microenvironment), regenerative engineering advances into the areas of biomaterials including nanomaterials, drug carriers, bioinks, 3D printing, organoids, microfluidics, microfabrication, bioprocessing, sensors, and personalized medicine. Of particular interest is the application of advanced experimental tools based on machine learning and AI-based methods for disease diagnostics, including cancer, and the computational modeling of the systems’ in vitro and in vivo performance.
Keywords
- Stem cells, cell and gene therapy, and tissue engineering;
- Biomaterials, including bioinspired and biomimetic materials, materials’ functionalization and mechanical testing;

D. Nano-Biotechnology
“Nanotechnology Applications in Bioengineering” provides a forum for the science of converging technologies, applied to advanced engineering approaches to use in biological processes. As part of nanotechnology, matter is manipulated at the nanoscale (dimensions between 1 and 100 nm) and includes the modification of natural biopolymers and design of synthetic nano-objects (nanoparticles, nanoplates and nanofibers). Of particular interest is the application of new nanotechnological approaches to design nano-structural materials for, e.g., three-dimensional (3D) printing, bioprinting, and tissue engineering, areas with emerging potential in, e.g., food engineering, biology, and medicine.
Keywords
- Synthesis, characterization, production, and applications of biomaterials;
- Surface modifications and their biological effects;
- Cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, immunogenic properties of nanostructured materials;
- New processing methods applied to food engineering;
- Applications in, e.g., tissue engineering, wound dressings, cell models, artificial skin, cancer models, and encapsulation for controlled release.
