Presentation Type: Keynote Presentation (In-Person)

Title: Eliminating implant infection: 45,000 patients and still counting

🔬 Presentation Highlights

·   Nanomedicine is transforming healthcare – nanomaterials mimic natural tissue to boost growth, reduce infection, and control inflammation.
·   45,000+ patients benefited from nanoscale spinal screws with zero reported infections.
·   Nanomaterials promote neuron function – surface energy controls protein adsorption to
enhance brain cell activity.
·   Carbon nanotubes + stem cells accelerated motor recovery in stroke-induced rats, outperforming stem cells alone.
·   Neural probes with nanoscale surfaces reduce glial scar formation and infection without drugs or antibiotics.
·   4D printed materials can deliver stem cells to the brain, adapting shape over time for better therapy.
·   Human clinical studies show nanomaterials can improve medical device performance and patient outcomes.
