2025 Science of Adhesion Conference GRC
Dr. Villiou had the honor of serving as a discussion leader at this year’s conference, which brought together leading researchers and innovators to explore the many facets of adhesion science—from medicine and additive manufacturing to sustainability, cellular environments, and bioinspired materials.
The program offered a wealth of insights, featuring groundbreaking presentations on topics such as bioadhesive technologies for fetal surgery, dynamic polymer networks, mussel-inspired hydrogels, and emerging applications in sustainability and biomedical engineering.
In addition to the formal sessions, poster presentations, group discussions, and networking opportunities fostered an engaging and collaborative atmosphere. For Dr. Villiou, contributing to such a vibrant exchange of ideas was both a privilege and an inspiration, leaving her energized about the exciting future of the field.
