SYMPOSIUM: Biomaterials for Health – Connecting Technologies, Advancing Translation

02.03.2027, 13.00 Uhr – 03.03.2027, 13.00 Uhr | KARL STORZ Visitor and Training Centre, Berlin

How can scientific exchange and collaboration advance biomaterials research and help translate innovative technologies into medical applications?

On 2–3 March 2027, the research alliance Leibniz Health Technologies invites researchers, technology developers, clinical experts, industry representatives and other interested participants. 

Researchers from institutes of the alliance and their spin-offs will showcase their technological solutions in areas including: advanced tissue models, high-throughput formats and automation bioactive devices for in vivo drug delivery and medical devices, as well as bioelectronic interfaces.

The two-half day symposium will bring together scientific expertise and innovative technologies to foster interdisciplinary exchange, identify synergies and initiate new collaborations. It also explores opportunities and challenges in translating promising research into medical applications.

The symposium welcomes participants from Research Alliance Leibniz Health Technologies and beyond.
