Bio & Nanomaterials Conference

BIONAM 2026 focuses on bio- and nanomaterials across design, multiscale characterisation and function, with a dedicated emphasis on AI-enabled optimisation and translational interfaces (tissue engineering, diagnostics, bioelectronics). The programme combines keynotes, themed oral sessions, roundtables, and short talks, and includes a bilateral Italy–Argentina segment aimed at accelerating collaborative validation loops and joint projects.
