The Interface between Materials and Medicine

Thursday 4th March 2010

Technium Springboard, Cwmbran

12:30 – 16:30

 

Replacement hip and knee joints have brought relief from pain to many in recent years.  Dental treatment too has benefited from new materials and new technologies.  Underpinning these advances in the treatment of patients is research into joint movement and other previously unexplored areas, since it’s only by understanding the nature of the challenge that full benefit can be derived from the novel materials that are available for use in these applications.  If you want to learn more about the interface between medicine and materials as well as European opportunities for technology transfer in this and many other fields, make sure you register for this event by logging on to www.mnw.org.uk and selecting the Diary of Events.
