Program 2024

Hear about exciting science and technologies across experimental and computational disciplines in the Biointerfaces community, from Swiss and international research teams in academia, hospitals and industry. The three-day program will be preceeded by a pre-conference seminar. 

 

Session topics for the 2024 edition will include:

  • mRNA therapeutics
  • Immune disease interfaces
  • Biosensing and diagnostics
  • Mechanobiology and mechanoimmunology
  • Biomaterials
  • Bioprinting and biofabrication

 

We will explore these topics through a variety of lenses:

  • Science to market: latest technologies from start-ups, challenges along the development pathway, regulatory
  • Labs of the future: challenges and opportunities in lab automation, digital twins, and virtual/augmented reality
  • Scientific talks, panel discussions and speaker debates
