On July 15th and 16th, 45 faculty and students of Engineering Research Center - Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials (ERC-RMB) from North Carolina A&T, University of Cincinnati, and University of Pittsburgh got together in Pittsburgh for the very first ERC workshop on magnesium(Mg)-based screw projects. The workshop was initiated by Dr. Woo to tackle the challenges that the research groups in Engineering System-1: Orthopaedic and Maxillofacial Applications are facing in coordinating the research plans for year 4 and 5 based on the year-3 site visit by NSF, the ERC’s funding government agency. 9 organizers from the three institutions put together a program that consisted of 7 sessions on topics ranging from clinical requirements to commercialization and intellectual property management.
