The Meshwork presents

From biomimetic materials to cancer metabolism, this month's Meshwork webinar "New frontiers in biomaterials and cancer research" explores how advances in matrix biology are driving innovation across diverse areas of biomedical research. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Brooke Farrugia (University of Melbourne), will present her research on engineering biomimetic growth factor delivery systems, while Dr. Jessica Chitty (Tom Cox Lab, Garvan Institute of Medical Research) will discuss emerging strategies to target copper, extracellular matrix crosslinking, and metabolic vulnerabilities in pancreatic cancer. Chaired by the vice-president of MBSANZ, Dr. Alex Smith (University of Queensland), this webinar will showcase cutting-edge research and highlight how understanding and manipulating the cellular microenvironment can lead to new therapeutic opportunities. Register now and join researchers from across the global matrix biology community.
