The field of Biorelated Polymers is very extensive and involves incorporating technology from several scientific disciplines such as; chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering and medicine. These technologies are distinctly integrated into the research and the development of novel Drugs and Drug Conjugates, Drug Delivery Systems, Nanostructured Systems, Gene Therapy, Hydrogel Applications, Stimuli-Responsive Polymers for Biosensors, Tissue Engineering, and Biomaterials for Implants and Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration. During the �Symposium on Biorelated Polymers�, papers will be given by researchers in these fields and other forefront topics. In this presentation, a short overview of some of the basic concepts, the rational for several Biorelated Polymer applications and current technology will be given.
