About
This symposium aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industrial R&D, as well as industrial manufacturers/service providers, working in the broad field of bio-tribology. It involves bio-tribology related to hip and knee joints, skin, hair, spines, shoulder, orthopaedic implants, materials, devices, etc. Both academic/applied researchers and industry professionals would find this symposium an excellent forum to present their works, exhibit products and services or network with people with similar interests.
