European Society for Biomaterials are delighted to announce the call for 2024 ESB Scientific Awards nominations is now open. Please do not miss the opportunity to nominate a colleague for one of our four prestigious awards. Deadline for nominations is 29/12/2023. More details in the adjoining 🧵

Great times with great people, season’s greetings! 🎄

We are so excited to announce our 2023 Innovation Grant scheme winners! We're funding three hugely exciting projects from across the UK. All of these projects are aimed at replacing animal research with human-relevant science. frame.org.uk/latest/2023-in…

Attention to all the YSF community!!! Deadline is approaching ⬇️⬇️⬇️ More info here: esbiomaterials.eu/cms/content/ys… European Society for Biomaterials

Innovation Grant scheme winner spotlight! Dr Nicola Contessi Negrini, from Imperial College, will be researching non-animal, biomimetic 3D in vitro models of obese adipose tissues. An excess of adipose tissues can lead to conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

STEM for BRITAIN 2024 is in UK Parliament on Monday 4th March! Congratulations to all our finalists listed at stemforbritain.org.uk. Who will win one of our shiny medals🎖️? #stem4brit Royal Society of Biology Royal Academy of Engineering Royal Society of Chemistry IMA Institute of Physics The Physiological Society Nutrition Society UK Research and Innovation

One in eight people in the world is now living with obesity 🗺️ Research from #OurImperial Imperial School of Public Health has found that that the total number of children, adolescents and adults worldwide living with obesity has surpassed one billion Read more 🧵👇

We were proud to see Nicola C Negrini present his research as a finalist STEM for Britain at the Houses of Parliament yesterday! 👏 Bioengineering #STEM4BRIT

We are THRILLED to have been ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in the UK and Europe in this year's QS QS World University Rankings! 🎊🥳 #QSWUR Thank you to everyone in #OurImperial community for making this result possible! 💙
