Bioactive Materials Participates in the 8th Spanish Conference on Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials

Bioactive Materials, a leading international journal in the field of bioactive materials, is delighted to announce its active participation in the 8th Spanish Conference on Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials, a key academic event dedicated to advancing nanomaterial innovations in biomedicine. The conference will be held on September 18-19 at the ICMM, Campus Cantoblanco in Madrid, Spain, and will gather researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to explore cutting-edge developments and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Conference Overview: Focus on Biomedical Nanomaterial Innovations

The 8th Spanish Conference on Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials will feature a comprehensive program covering three core thematic areas, aligned with the latest trends in biomedicine and nanotechnology:

• Drug Delivery & Diagnostics: Sessions will include presentations on mRNA formulation for fibroblast targeting in spinal cord injury, thermal disruption of cell membranes via localized magnetic hyperthermia, and dendrimer-based antigens for IgE-mediated beta-lactam allergy diagnosis—addressing critical challenges in precise drug delivery and sensitive diagnostic technologies.
• Neurological Applications & Sensors: Topics will range from nanostructured materials for 4D (bio)printing to plasmonic nanoparticle-modulated neuronal activity and nanowire-coated implanted neural interfaces, highlighting breakthroughs in neuroregeneration and neural sensing.
• Cancer Therapies: Leading researchers will share work on nano-sized liposomes for immune cell guiding to neuroblastoma, magnetic hyperthermia optimization via antibody-functionalized nanoparticles, and photoactivated Au-based nanoparticle therapies—driving progress in targeted and minimally invasive cancer treatment.

Complementing the oral presentations, the conference will host two key interactive sessions:

• Poster Session: Scheduled on September 18 (16:25-18:00) and September 19 (11:15-12:00), the session will showcase over 40 cutting-edge studies, including magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles for cancer therapy, lipid-based theranostic platforms, and nanostructured flexible electrodes for neural interfaces .
• Instrumentation Demonstrations: Industry partners such as Anton Paar and Metrohm will present new lab technologies, including the IJM NanoScaler— a benchtop system for lipid nanoparticle formulation—bridging the gap between academic research and industrial application.

Bioactive Materials' Key Engagement: Connect with Editors and Access Exclusive Resources

As part of its commitment to supporting the global biomaterials community, Bioactive Materials will offer two tailored opportunities for conference attendees to engage with the journal and advance their research:

1. Editor Session

On Friday, September 19 at 11:00, Dr. María Concepción Serrano López-Terradas, Associate Editor of Bioactive Materials and the publisher Jessica Wang, will host a dedicated “Meet the Editor” session. This interactive session will provide attendees with:

• Direct guidance on manuscript preparation, submission strategies, and revision tips to enhance publication success;
• Insights into the journal’s latest focus areas, including “nanomaterial clinical translation” and “bioactive interfaces for regenerative medicine”;
• A platform to discuss emerging research trends and potential collaborations aligned with the conference’s themes.

2. Bioactive Materials Exhibition Booth

Throughout the conference, the journal will maintain an exhibition booth (location: near the ICMM registration area, with signage for easy navigation). Attendees are invited to:

• Collect free resources, including the journal’s flyer;
• Consult with the Bioactive Materials publisher to develop personalized publication plans, including recommendations for special issues and author support services;
• Share preliminary research findings for potential consideration in future journal issues or collaborative projects;
• Customized exquisite gifts for the journal.
