3e Thesinge Biofilm bijeenkomst !

Door ons netwerk is Springboard geattendeerd op de 3e Thesinge Biofilm bijeenkomst die gehouden wordt van 20-21 september 2010 in Thesinge. De meeting richt zich op biofilm wetenschap en technologies aspecten:

Biofilm research is booming since the field of application is extremely wide. Over the past decade, new techniques have become available for the basic study of interactions between microorganisms and surfaces to answer questions like:

“What makes them stick? What causes them to detach? Why do they form a biofilm?”

Although the meeting is set-up to include all fields of application, primary focus is on biomaterials implant-related infections - the number one cause of implant failure.

Prevention of biofilm formation is the ultimate goal in nearly every field of application.This has stimulated a worldwide search for new antimicrobial surfaces and approaches.The Thesinge meeting will highlight new developments in antimicrobial coatings:

“Why silver? Do QUATS really work? What are options for antimicrobial-releasing coatings?”
