Each year IUPAC endorses a large number of independently organized conferences, symposiums and workshops that cover a wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. Endorsement by IUPAC attests to the quality of the scientific program and indicates the host country’s assurance that scientists from all countries may participate. See program details.

Blood-biomaterial interface: where medicine and biology meet physical sciences and engineering

Madren Conference Center, Clemson, SC, USA

Limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying adverse reactions to foreign materials upon contact with blood continues to hinder the development of new clinical devices and advanced treatment options for cardiovascular disorders. Addressing the problem will require the efforts of practitioners from diverse fields – clinicians and engineers, biologists and physicists. The goal of this – second – meeting, is to bring them together. Platelets will form the central theme of this meeting in view of their key role in defining blood response to biomaterials.
