Co-organised with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and HKU Mainland Dental Alumni Association
Plenary speakers and organising committee members at the forum.
The “2nd Frontiers Forum on Next-Generation Biomaterials in Dental Medicine 2024” was held on June 2, 2024, at the HKU Rayson Huang Theatre. Co-organised by the Faculty, in collaboration with The College of Stomatology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and The University of Hong Kong Mainland Dental Alumni Association, this event gathered leading experts and scholars in dental biomaterials to explore advancements, exchange perspectives, and foster collaborative efforts.
The forum showcased the latest research and innovations in dental biomaterials through a range of lectures and poster presentations, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge exchange.
Researchers were invited to submit abstracts on Biomaterials, Dental Materials, AI and Bioinformatics, and Oral Biology, to showcase their original work during the poster sessions. One student each from The University of Hong Kong, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University, and Sichuan University won the poster competition.
The field of dental biomaterials stands at the forefront of innovation, and events like this are imperative for propelling advancements and meeting the changing needs of dental patients worldwide.
Professor Zhou Ye, our Assistant Professor in Biofunctional Materials, and the Chairman of the Organising Committee stated, “The field of dental biomaterials stands at the forefront of innovation, and events like this are imperative for propelling advancements and meeting the changing needs of dental patients worldwide.”
The event reaffirmed HKU’s commitment to excellence in research and innovation through collaborations with esteemed partners. As the field continues to advance, such forums play a crucial role in shaping the future of oral healthcare and dental biomaterials.
Young researchers’ work is presented at the poster session.
