CNRE Third Thursday Lunch & Learn: Designing a Sustainable World from Nature’s Building Blocks
October 21, 2021
Noon-1:15 p.m. ET

Join Kevin Edgar, professor of biomaterials, to learn how his team is working to provide effective solutions to medical problems like arthritis and joint injuries and replace non-degradable, fossil fuel-based plastics that are fouling our oceans, birds, and fish, and, ultimately, ourselves. His presentation will reveal recent efforts to make high performance materials from abundant and safe natural polysaccharides, which are long chains of sugars connected in various ways.

There is no charge for attendance; however, we have provided an option to make a gift at checkout for those who would like to contribute. All gifts will benefit the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials Annual Fund.
