Opthalmic Biomaterials (SIG)

Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
Room: Laurel C-D, 4th Floor

About

The Ophthalmic Biomaterials SIG Session welcomes submissions that describe the development and/or testing of biomaterials for use in ophthalmology. This may include drug delivery strategies or cell-based approaches, regenerative medicine applications, or unique animal models that have a primary focus in preserving or restoring the form and/or function of the eye. Abstracts from related areas of research with strong applicability in the visual system may also be submitted for this SIG Session.
