18 - 20 September 2017

The Helmholtz Graduate School for Macromolecular Bioscience – a cooperation between the Institute of Biomaterial Science of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Freie Universität Berlin and University of Potsdam – is pleased to announce its Summer School 2017. This year the Summer School will be located at the University of Potsdam - Campus Golm. The Summer School targets junior researchers of the cooperating institutions. Participants have the chance to learn about the recent progress of macromolecular biomaterials and to get insights into selected topics of the Graduate School’s multidisciplinary research ﬁ elds.

Piloting approaches in modern medical therapies often require innovative multifunctional biomaterials. The Summer School 2017 concentrates on the design and synthesis of polymer-based functional materials and strategies to increase the number of functions implemented into these materials. Multifunctionality of polymers is one of the preconditions to control regenerative processes, ideally to achieve full tissue restoration. Other aspects of the program are

functionalization of polymer-based materials by polymer processing or evaluation of functions like the

compatibility of the newly developed materials within biological environments. Within this context, the Summer School will also enlighten the complex interface processes that are crucial to design biomaterials for future

applications in medicine and biotechnology.

Introduction

Lectures will be held by internationally recognized scientists. Junior researchers will have the opportunity to present their research within short oral presentations or during a poster session. The three-day program of fundamental and advanced research oﬀ ers all participants plenty opportunities to network and exchange with the experts. Conference language will be English.

The program of the Summer School frames a special scientiﬁ c symposium on “Functional Surfaces by Chemical Modiﬁ cation and Supramolecular Structurization”, dedicated to the 65th anniversary of Dr. habil. Burkhard Schulz, on Wednesday, 20th of September, 2017.
