The University of Texas at Arlington is pleased to host the 1^st International Symposium on Traumatic Brain Injury – Mechanisms and Protections on April 11, 2019. The specific objectives of the symposium are to (i) share state-of-the-art research on TBI mechanism and protection, (ii) foster greater research collaboration across disciplines, sectors, initiatives and countries and promote interactions between the TBI research community with the veteran community, contact sports community and others for education and outreach, (iii) identify knowledge gap on TBI research and exc

3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies carry the promise of revolutionizing the quality and efficiency of healthcare. However, the required technologies, even when available, are currently too fragmented to be integrated into routine, affordable and streamlined solutions that can benefit a large number of patients. The challenge thereby is to deliver 3D printing technologies that enable:
