The Korean Society for Biomaterials
Welcome to The Korean Society for Biomaterials.
The Korean Society for Biomaterials (KSBM) which founded in 1996, is a global knowledge sharing forum with 3,400 researchers from domestic and foreign companies, universities, research institutes, and clinics, with the goal of developing various biomedical biomaterials for the treatment of human diseases and improvement quality of life. Thanks to the generous efforts of members with abundant research capabilities, KSBM has achieved remarkable quantitative and qualitative growth over the past quarter century.
Last year, ‘Biomaterials Research’, the academic journal of KSBM, was also registered in SCIE, and in 2024, the 12th World Biomaterials Congress (WBC 2024) Daegu Conference is about to be held. As this is the result of the interest and active participation of members, on behalf of KSBM, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all members.
KSBM, which has always pursued novelty based on creativity, wants to dream of breaking the wall and flying once again in 2022.
1. We will raise KSBM’s international status one step further. In order to prepare for the successful WBC 2024, we will promote exchanges with biomaterials societies in Asia, Europe and the United States. We will do our best to globalize the academic journals listed in SCIE and maintain a high citation index.
2. We will further activate a platform of knowledge sharing where researchers from companies, universities, research institutes, hospitals and clinics can work together. The YSF (Young Scientist Forum) will also resume to support the discovery of new researchers, the formation of a human network for the next generation of academics, and the revitalization of seminars.
3. We will create governance that reflects the diverse opinions of members in the academic activities and affairs of the society. The active participation of members in business affairs is an essential element for sustainable development of the society. In addition, we will prepare a mid-to-long-term development plan for KSBM by gathering the wisdom of members.
KSBM has grown with the interest and love of our members. In the future, I believe that we can grow even more by sharing each other's knowledge and experiences. Therefore, I would like to work with the members under the following slogan, during my term of office. “KSBM as a Platform for Knowledge Sharing and Lasting Friendship”. We will create a platform as a playground where members can freely exchange knowledge and have fun. Please watch over KSBM with unchanging love and interest, and give us your strength.
Thank you.

Since its establishment in 1996, the Korean Society for Biomaterials (KSBM) has been a vital part of biomaterial research in industry and academia in Korea.
We currently have 3000 active members who are dedicated to the development of biomaterials for the treatment of human diseases and improvement of the quality of life.
KSBM holds annual meeting twice in each year, where over 300 papers are presented in oral and poster sessions; main topics in annual meetings include functional biomaterials, biomedical polymers, ceramics and metals, tissue engineering, stem cells, and translational applications.
In addition, the official journal of KSBM, ‘Biomaterials Research’, is published four times a year, which is devoted to introduction of new biomaterial technologies and to extension of networking within biomaterial communities with other expertise, such as nanotechnology, microfabrication, biomechanics, biology, and materials sciences. International participation and collaborations from editorial board members in the journal is another strength of Biomaterials Research.
We have been actively involved in international communications with other societies including Society for Biomaterials, Asian Society for Biomaterials, and European Society for Biomaterials, and IUSBSE. Our members have been volunteered to carry out professional services as international journal editorial member, conference organizers, speakers, session organizer, and chairs. It is notable that Korea is one of the leading countries contributing to Journals publishing biomaterial-related research.
