2016 Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society(E-MRS)has been held fromMay 2-6 in Lille, France. Prof. JianR Luand Prof. Hai Xu fromCentre for Bioengineeringand Biotechnology have organized and hostedthe symposium on “Smart biointerfaces for functional biomaterials”(symposium Q). The symposium Q included nine subjects, such as “Peptide and Protein Assemblies”, “Polymer assemblies”, “Biofunctional supramolecular assemblies”, and attracted more than 100researchers over world. 64 oral talks and 19 posters have been presented. Dr Jiqian Wang and Dr Li Deng from our college also gave two oral presentations on peptide self-assemble. The titles were “The effects of isometic amino acid side chains in short peptide amphiphilesself-assembly”and “Driving force and nanomechanics in the formation of hierarchical structures self-assembled by short peptides”.Through participation in E-MRS 2016 Spring Meeting, not only the research progress in biomaterials inour college has been shown, but the exchange and cooperation between our collegeand universities in Europealso have been strengthened.
