Events

Back by popular demand after a successful first edition in 2023, the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research (BIMR) and Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) are excited to organize this event with the goal of bringing together the academic, industrial, and clinical research community focused on the development of biomaterials, biofabrication methods or devices, and regenerative medicine applications.

This Symposium day will include oral presentations from leaders in the academic, industrial, and clinical space, as well as opportunities for trainee presentations in the form of a poster session. The goal is to train the future generation of materials scientists and engineers, clinical practitioners, and entrepreneurs to strengthen the community working across disciplinary boundaries to address challenges in regenerative medicine at McMaster University and Southern Ontario at large.
