Apatites are everywhere!

Apatites represent a family of minerals and their synthetic analogs, which are of interest in many industrial branches and scientific disciplines. This intriguing material is used in such various ways, like producing fertilizers and phosphoric acid, depollution traps for soil, water and air, storage of radioactive elements, cosmetics, optic, and of course, for medical applications, a field in which they particularly shine.

Indeed, biological apatites, as non-toxic, biocompatible and bioactive materials, have been one of the cornerstones of our current healthcare systems (e.g., orthopaedics, regenerative medicine, drug delivery), and have affected the life of many around the globe.

Join us and meet inspiring global experts, such as Pr. Aoki, our guest of honour, to discuss, exchange and discover the latest advances in apatites and correlative biomaterials.
