At the core of the Biomaterials community in Glasgow are the Centre for Cell Engineering at the College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences, and the Research Division Biomedical Engineering at the College for Science and Engineering.

If you work in the area of biomaterials & tissue engineering and know that you will be in or around Glasgow - why not drop in - if you are eager Monica & Andres can organise a talk - it will in any case be listed here, and maybe doodled ...
