Society For Biomaterials (SFB)

Mount Laurel, New Jersey, United States of America

History
In 1969, a number of researchers in the biomaterials field initiated a series of International Biomaterials Symposia concentrating predominantly on materials for reconstructive surgery. As these symposia became increasingly popular, the idea to establish a dedicated biomaterials organization germinated. The Society For Biomaterials (SFB) was formally established in April, 1974.

The purpose for the formation of SFB was, and remains today:
• To encourage, foster, promote and advance research and development and education in biomaterials sciences
• To promote, initiate, support and accomplish cooperative research, development and educational programs in this field in the public interest

Mission
The Society For Biomaterials is a multidisciplinary society of academic, healthcare, governmental and business professionals dedicated to promoting advancements in all aspects of biomaterial science, education and professional standards to enhance human health and quality of life.

Vision
The Vision of the Society for Biomaterials is to serve as the world's preeminent interactive global community committed to advancing excellence in all aspects of biomaterial science, engineering and technology for promoting human health and well-being.
