Recent studies on biomaterials and bio-inspired materials have shown their exceptional potential towards diverse technological applications such as therapeutics, catalysis, energy storage, regenerative medicine, imaging, protein purification, threat mitigation and many more. Novel synthetic biomaterials on a nanoscale range can lead to the opening of new frontiers in the field of medicine and sustainability. The molecular science and engineering of these nanomaterials and their derivatives and mimics are not only fascinating but also challenging. This symposium aims to showcase multi-disciplinary research on the design strategies, challenges and applications of a wide range of biomaterials and to foster new collaborations in this field.
