The 8º OBI - Workshop sobre Órgãos Artificiais, Biomateriais e Engenharia de Tecidos is a biannual event that brings together researchers, professors, and students from the biomedical field to discuss advancements and challenges in the creation of artificial organs and biomaterials.

This year, we will have inspiring lectures, presentations of scientific papers, and networking opportunities. Another highlight of the OBI is the participation of Companies/Startups and Business Incubators, related to the health technology sector, encouraging scientific entrepreneurship and the technological development of the country.
