3rd annual Mechanobiology Symposium Event as iCalendar

25 November 2011

9am - 6pm

Understanding how mechanobiological processes work involves a multiscale and multidisciplinary approach with an integration of several disciplines including cell biology, physics and engineering. In this 3rd annual meeting we hope to discuss the following three broad topics:

  • Cell mechanobiology
  • Multi-scalar realities of joint mechanics and tissue structure
  • Tissue engineering

Venue : Room 403.404, Faculty of Engineering, 20 Symonds Street, Auckland
