4th TRANSFORMAS meeting in Erlangen
The 4th scientific meeting of the TRANSFORMAS research group took place on 10th October 2016 at the Institute of Biomaterials in Erlangen, organised by Prof. A. R. Boccaccini. TRANSFORMAS (“Translational Applications for Material Science”) is a research initiative between the Institute of Biomaterials, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Head: Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini) and the Department of Hand, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at BG Trauma Center Ludwigshafen (Plastic and Hand Surgery, Head: Prof. Ulrich Kneser). The main collaborative projects include the development of scaffolds and implants for bone regeneration as well as new biodegradable composites for wound healing applications, including soy protein based materials [1].
