2024 Conference Travels

Several Santerre Lab members had the opportunity to attend two World Congress meetings this spring and summer. We are very grateful for the opportunity to present our work - big thanks to the organizers of these conferences!

12th World Biomaterials Congress

In May, Brian Webb, Yizhou Chen, Dr. Santerre, Zach Gouveia, and Katya D’Costa had the opportunity to attend this conference in Daegu, South Korea. For more information about this event, check out the website here: https://wbc2024.com/.

Yizhou presented a poster titled: “Micro-sized gelatin polyurethane composite scaffolds: a new delivery vehicle for intramyocardial hPSC-derived cardiomyocyte transplantation.”

Katya delivered an oral presentation called: “Coupling mechanical distension and sodium ascorbate treatments to generate autologous small-diameter vascular grafts with human adipose stromal cells and monocytes.”

Zach presented his work in an oral presentation titled: “Concept, synthesis, and bio-evaluation of biostable and clinically-translatable dental restoratives.”

Brian delivered an oral presentation titled: “Engineering gingival grafts seeded with human adipose-derived stem cells.”

7th TERMIS World Congress

In June, Kate MacQuarrie had the opportunity to attend this event in Seattle, Washington and present a poster titled “Differentiated and non-differentiated adipose-derived stromal cells accelerate autologous, non-thrombogenic endothelialization of an electrospun scaffold.” For more information about this conference, visit https://wc2024.termis.org/.
