Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Medical Device Engineering
  • Bioengineering

Background:

  • The National Academy for Engineering (NAE) identified 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering in 2009.
  • These NAE challenges did not fully encompass the specific needs of the biomaterials field.
  • A panel at the 2010 Society for Biomaterials Annual Meeting addressed this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and propose critical "Grand Challenges" for the field of biomaterials.
  • To outline a future direction for biomaterials research and development.
  • To accelerate the transition from conventional biomaterials to advanced bioengineered solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Organized a panel discussion at the Society for Biomaterials Annual Meeting.
  • Invited six National Academies members to propose key challenges.
