Health Equity

Welcome to the Health Equity Special Interest Group (SIG)

The Health Equity SIG is a newly established initiative the Society For Biomaterials dedicated to advancing research and innovation that prioritize equity in healthcare and research practices.

The Health Equity SIG brings together researchers, educators, and innovators from diverse disciplines to address health disparities and ensure that the needs of all patient demographics remain at the forefront of scientific progress. We welcome all SFB members who are passionate about creating a more inclusive and equitable future in healthcare and science. Whether you are an established researcher, a student, or an emerging innovator, your contributions are vital to our mission. Together, we can build a collaborative platform that prioritizes equity, transforms research practices, and ensures no patient population is overlooked.
