Abstract
New developments in chemical biology, material science and bioengineering are revolutionising regenerative medicine and represent fertile ground for new and exciting interactions between the physical and life sciences.
It is essential for the science base in the North East to be at the forefront of such activity and the purpose of this regional-based meeting is to:
- Evaluate current interdisciplinary research activity in the field
- Stimulate new interactions between medics, biologists, engineers, physicists and chemists
- Define a role for the new Biophysical Sciences Institute at Durham in stimulating interdisciplinary research in regenerative medicine
