NEW! Prof Chris Lowe, OBE, confirmed as speaker. Infection has become one of the toughest problems in the medical world. As bacteria become more resistant to drugs, materials and surfaces are developing as complementary measures for infection control and management. If you're interested in these technologies from business, clinical or research perspective this is for you.

Aspects covered include;

  • Clinical Need and Issues faced by drug-free antibacterial technology
  • Antibacterial Materials; Synthetic Polymers, Natural Polymers, Glasses and Ceramics.
  • Developing products and novel technologies for medical devices and cosmetic, pharmaceutical and medical applications
  • Networks and support in anti-bacterial technology.

This event will review advances and needs in these technologies from business, clinical and research perspectives.

The meeting is supported in part through HyMedPoly, a 4 year Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme project developing new anti-bacterial therapies based on  polymers and inorganic materials. There will be an opportunity to view posters on the project and to meet members of the project’s researcher cohort who will outline results to advance products for medical and personal healthcare.  

HyMedPoly has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant programme No. 643050. 

   HyMedPoly

This event is being run jointly by Cambridge Network with member, Lucideon, an international, independent materials technology company that applies its materials expertise in ceramics, metals and polymers to a range of sectors including healthcare, construction, ceramics, aerospace and power engineering.
