Update from the Engineering Cells Their Microenvironments (ECTM) SIG

摘要

The Engineering Cells Their Microenvironments (ECTM) Special Interest Group (SIG) concentrates on technologies and approaches focused at the single cell level and encompassing engineering cell microenvironments, biomaterial-induced cell signaling, stem cell manufacturing and differentiation, immunoengineering, and biomaterials for cell-based detection and diagnosis. The main goals of our SIG are to: 1) engage members at the annual Society For Biomaterials meeting by guiding and sponsoring forums, 2) promote networking through social events held at the annual meeting, and 3) share resources to support students and members. We currently have over 470 members from various academic, industrial, business and government organizations.
