Workshop: Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Biomateriomics

18.02. - 21.02.2019

Haus Insel Reichenau, Bodensee

Markusstraße 15

D-78479 Reichenau

Facing the challenges of an aging population, biomaterial research has become more important over the past decades. A broad set of scientific skills is required to process, characterize and apply biocompatible materials. In this workshop, the following topics will be addressed:

• Synthesis and processing of (bio)materials and polymers
• Biological in-vitro and high-throughput analysis on a cellular level
• Handling of complex data and automated image analysis
• Current and upcoming applications in clinical contexts
• Competences for a successful doctorate and future working life

The workshop is primarily designated for doctoral students and Post-Docs. All participants are requested to present their own research project during a poster session and have the opportunity to win a poster cash prize sponsored by Yokogawa.

Organization and Funding:

This workshop is organized by the doctoral students of the study course “Intelligente Prozess- und Materialentwicklung in der Biomateriomics” which was founded with the objective of bringing together researchers from broad academic backgrounds into an interdisciplinary network. This doctoral study course is a cooperation between the University of Tübingen and Reutlingen University, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Arts of Baden-Württemberg.

We thank the Institutional Strategy of the University of Tübingen (DFG, ZUK 63) for funding this workshop.

We also thank the following sponsors for their further support:
