June 14, 2021

8:30 - 18:00 Brussels time, CEST

The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. Facing the COVID-19 pandemic and its various effects, the Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials annual conference ScSB 2021 was held as virtual event.

The ScSB 2021 abstracts are published in eCM journal: https://www.ecmconferences.org/abstracts/2021/Collection1/2021_ScSB.html

TOPIC

The topic of the conference was dedicated to “Customized Solutions” in any kind of areas connected with biomaterials. This can be related to, e.g., in vitro and in vivo models for specific applications, chemical composition and structure of implant materials, drug delivery systems and applications in clinic.

110 abstracts have been reviewed. Represented 19 countries: the abstract authors from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Latvia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands, UK, Belgium, The United States of America and Turkey. Each of the submitted abstract was independently and carefully reviewed by members of the ScSB 2021 Scientific Committee. All abstracts were assessed by the same scientific criteria.

Venue of ScSB 2021:

HOTEL LIELUPE BY SEMARAH in Jūrmala, Latvia

https://lielupe.semarahhotels.com/conferences

The Organizing Committee of ScSB 2021 is taking care of ScSB 2021 participants, and discounted hotel reservations will be available at the HOTEL LIELUPE BY SEMARAH.

Availability and rates: EUR 90,00-100,00 for 1 night during the conference as well 1 day before and after the event.

Visit Jūrmala:

It is the second largest city in Latvia after Riga. Jūrmala is surrounded by water from two sides - the city's southern side borders with the coasts of the Lielupe River for 30 kilometres, but the city's northern edge - with the Gulf of Riga for 26 kilometres.

Jūrmala's beach, slightly over 24 km in length, is formed of fine white silica sand, which has been brought here by the coastal stream over thousands of years.

SUPPORTERS AND ORGANIZING TEAM:

The Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials (ScSB) was founded in May 2008. The main focus of activities is centered on organizing an annual Biomaterials meeting in Scandinavia and the Baltic states, and thereby promoting cross-fertilization of Biomaterials research in Scandinavia, Iceland, Finland and the Baltic states. www.scsb.eu

The Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence (BBCE) for advanced biomaterials development (Latvia). https://bbcentre.eu

Riga Technical University (RTU) is a modern internationally recognized university. It is the only polytechnic university in Latvia and the largest university in the country – it educates and trains almost 15 thousand students. RTU is focused on becoming a third-generation university that not only provides high quality education, but also conducts advanced research and ensures innovation and technology transfer, practically implementing scientific discoveries. www.rtu.lv

SPONSORS (Scientific achievement awards):

The European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) was founded in March 1976, and became a member of the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Sciences and Engineering (IUS-BSE) at its conception, in 1979. The ESB today has approximately 1,000 from over 30 countries worldwide. https://www.esbiomaterials.eu

The ESB invites to the next Annual Conference in Porto!

AFM (atomic force microscopy) is an advanced multiparametric imaging technique that delivers 3D profiles of the surfaces of biological samples, from individual biomolecules to mammalian cells and tissues, in the nm-range and the characterization of their nanomechanical properties. Bruker’s NanoWizard®BioAFMs are uniquely capable of performing high-speed studies of the time- resolved dynamics associated with cellular processes. The nanoscale structure of individual biomolecules can be resolved at scan rates of up to 1,000 lines/sec. Direct correlation of quantitative AFM and super-resolution datasets is possible, as well as a seamless combination with optical techniques, e.g. epifluorescence, confocal, and TIRF.

ScSB 2021 is organized by Latvian Materials Research Society (registration No. 40008006459, the address: Paula Valdena Street 3, Riga, Latvia, e-mail: bbcentre@rtu.lv) in cooperation with Riga Technical University and Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence.
