WBC2016 - Home

10th World Biomaterials Congress (WBC), which will be held in Montreal May 17-22, 2016. WBC 2016 will gather scientists from all other the world, including academicians, industry representatives, clinicians, regulatory experts, consultants and students from a wide range of disciplines, with the traditional multidisciplinary approach that is typical of our biomaterials community. The conference program will consist of plenary lectures, symposia, workshops and invited sessions of the latest significant findings and developments in all the major fields of biomaterials and related disciplines.
