A new era of tissue engineering, rooted in the fusion of material science, stem cell biology, and micro- and nanotechnology, is fostering fundamental advances that will enable applications in trauma medicine and implantable medical devices, as well as improve capabilities for developing replacement organs. Engineered cells and tissues are being used in drug target discovery and validation in vitro; their development is also furthering knowledge in physiology, morphogenesis, and cell biology.
The researchers making these advances are cross-trained in engineering, biology, and medicine. This symposium will convene leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians in the application of engineering design methodologies to provide new perspectives on replacements for failing organ systems.
Poster session, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Tissue Engineering Poster Session—Calling Harvard Students and Postdoctoral Fellows!
In conjunction with the “Frontiers of Tissue Engineering” symposium, there will be a poster session designed for students and postdoctoral fellows of Harvard University labs and research groups to present their work to an audience of science and medical experts and scholars from Harvard, area hospitals, and other universities and institutions. The poster session also offers participants an opportunity to learn what else is going on in the groundbreaking area of tissue engineering. This session will take place Friday, November 3, in Maxwell Dworkin, 33 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
The symposium planning committee—including Harvard professors Debra Auguste, Barbara Grosz, Donald Ingber, David Mooney, and Kit Parker—invites students and postdoctoral fellows to participate in this part of the symposium by providing a poster. Old or new work may be presented; even mature work will be new to many in the broad audience registered for the symposium.
As further incentive, a $200 “Best Poster Award” will be presented to a participant with an outstanding poster. The winner will be selected by the planning committee.
Students and postdoctoral fellows who would like to participate in this poster session should send their name, e-mail address, and poster title to science@radcliffe.edu by 5 p.m., on Friday, October 27, 2006.
