Prominent BBT presence at international conferences this April

April has been especially intense in the international arena, with active participation from several of our researchers in conferences related to materials engineering, microbiology, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering.

The presence of the different BBT members was divided across four strategic conferences for the group, where they presented work results from various projects and group research lines in both oral and poster formats:

13th International conference on Advanced Materials Research (AMR13), 8-10 Abril 2026, Nancy (France):

• J. Grzelak, J.-Y. Yoon, I. Bueso-Inchausti, A. Cloeren, M.-P. Ginebra. Engineered Hydroxyapatite Nanotopographies for Antimicrobial Bone Graft Substitutes. Oral presentation.
• T. Vilella, D. Rodríguez, C. Botero, L. Rännar, G. Fargas. In-situ alloying of Titanium-Niobium alloys via Electron Beam Melting. Poster presentation.
• M. Cano-Morenilla, J. Rodrigo, C. García-Mintegui, M. Vedani, M. Pegueroles. Resorbable Polymeric and Zn-Based biomaterials for vascular applications. Poster presentation.
