Conference of the German Society for Biomaterials (DGBM) in Dresden
The annual conference of the German Society for Biomaterials (DGBM) was held on 6-8 November 2014 in Dresden. The chairman was Prof. M. Gelinsky (Centre for Translational Bone, Joint and Soft Tissue Research, University Hospital of. Dresden), pictured with Prof. A.R. Boccaccini and Dr R. Detsch.
