Clinicians, researchers, and students from medical device manufacturers, academic research labs, and operating rooms across the country and around the world belong to SFB. This interdisciplinary gathering is a critical pathway to identifying issues with current technologies, and for translating academic research to clinical practice.
Events
Society For Biomaterials 2027 Annual Meeting & Exposition
The Society For Biomaterials is excited to host the 2027 Annual Meeting & Exposition at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington on April 27 - May 1, 2027. This year’s theme, "Innovation Reigns: Advancing the Future of Biomaterials," reflects a pivotal moment in our field—where groundbreaking research, translational development, and real-world applications converge.
Publications
2026 Q1 Biomaterial Forum is Available Now!
This edition of the Forum features the 2026 officer candidates for President-Elect and Member-at-Large and celebrates SFB's 2026 award recipients. Technical features explore the 60-year evolution of biomaterials at the University of Illinois Chicago, focusing on real-time atomic-scale imaging, and Stony Brook University’s development of engineered organoid models for Alzheimer’s and skeletal diseases. The issue also provides critical updates on the lapse of SBIR/STTR reauthorization, the National Institutes of Health’s new framework for international research collaborations, and the 35th anniversary of AIMBE.
