JOINT ISCA-INSPIRE WORKSHOP
on
Electrically Active Materials for Medical Devices (EAMMD)
University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland
8-10 June 2015
Electrical activity such as stress induced electrical charge, action potential and electret
behaviour of bone, muscles, nerve cells and skins have been known for some time. The use of
electrically active materials in medical devices for repair, regeneration and therapy has
received relatively less attention. The primary aim of this conference is to bring together
eminent scientists from Japan and Ireland who have made pioneering contributions in the field
of finding and exploiting electrical activity in biomaterials. Additionally, a number of
international speakers active in this field will create an opportunity for face to face dialog,
reinforce ongoing collaborations and develop new collaborations between Ireland and Japan,
and beyond. This workshop will provide a platform for discussing data and directions for both
short and medium term research to obtain a synergistic understanding of biological
interactions with electrically active materials, mainstream disparate data and observations,
and translate innovative findings into industrial practices and exploitation.
Organising Committee:
Dr. Syed A. M. Tofail, Department of Physics and Energy, and Materials and Surface Science
Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland (Chair);
Dr. Brian Rodriguez, School of Physics, University College, Dublin, Ireland (Co-Chair)
Dr. Damien Thompson, Professor Tewfik Soulimane, and Dr. David Hoey, Materials and
Surface Science Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland, Dr. Manus Biggs, National Centre for
Functional Biomaterials, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland (Members)
