DESCRIPTION:Cambridge and Anglian Materials Society in collaboration with 
 the Society of Biology East Anglia Branch presents *Biomaterial Scaffolds*
 .\n\nSignificant advances have been made in the field of biomedical materi
 als over the past 20 years.  With the move from tissue repair to cell-medi
 ated tissue reconstruction and regeneration\, there is an increasing need 
 for appropriate support-materials (or scaffolds) to deliver these cells to
  sites of disease or injury.  Biomaterial scaffolds support tissue regener
 ation by speeding up integration with body tissue and they have a key role
  in repair and regeneration at various sites within the human body.  Of ke
 y interest is the use of materials that are found naturally in the body 
 – including collagen and bone mineral.\n\nMembers of the Cambridge Centr
 e for Medical Materials (directed by Professor Serena Best and Professor R
 uth Cameron) work closely with the Departments of Biochemistry\, Pathology
 \, Chemistry\, Engineering and Chemical Engineering in addition to various
  departments at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.  The aim of the Group is to deve
 lop bioactive materials that support skeletal implants\, tissue engineerin
 g\, drug delivery systems\, bioceramics\, and composites used in implantat
 ion.  Members of the research team have combined to give short presentatio
 ns on their specialist topics and provide a window into this significant f
 ield of development.\n\n18.30 	Arrival and introduction\n\n18.35 – 18.50
