Roundtable on Biomedical Engineering Materials and Applications
Abstract
The National Materials Advisory Board (NMAB) held the second BEMA Roundtable meeting on 04-05 December 2000, at the National Research Council (NRC), Washington DC. The invited speakers were Dr. David Feigal, Director for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, US Food and Drug Administration; Prof. Henry Piehler, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Carnegie-Mellon University; Prof. Henry Rack, Department of Ceramic and Materials Engineering, Clemson University; and Mark Heller, Senior Partner, Hale and Dorr LLP. The speakers addressed the topic biomaterials research innovation and risk. At this meeting, the membership decided to hold a major meeting focusing on "pathways to innovation". A smaller group was formed to work on the planning for this meeting. NMAE held a third BEMA meeting on 10 June 2001 at NRC, Washington DC. The meeting goals were to present technical briefs on device innovation and science-based testing issues, present and discuss the current plan for the "pathways to innovation" meeting, and start the planning for a "science-based testing" meeting. The technical speakers were Gary Fischman, U Illinois Chicago; Tom Fogarty, Stanford; and Bill Regnault, FDA. A "science-based testing" planning group was created, analogous to the "pathways to innovation group", with a target of May-June 2002 to hold the meeting.
