We are excited to invite you to the International Symposium on Macromolecular Science and Biomaterials taking place on July 6-9, 2025, at the “Scuderie Aldobrandini Museum” in Frascati.
The symposium will feature eight keynote speakers, and opportunities for oral presentations from the participants of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research
and Innovation Staff Exchange programs PEPSA-MATE and BIOCOCOMER, funded by the
European Union’s Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programmes.
The goal of this Symposium is to gather scholars from all over the world to present advances in the fields of biomacromolecule-based nanomaterials, drug delivery
and tissue engineering and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and information.
This Symposium will also provide an ideal environment to engage with long-term collaborators
and develop new international and multidisciplinary collaborations with peers and young researchers.
