Abstract

The International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE) is a global organization in the field of biomaterials that brings together national and international biomaterials societies. It is dedicated to the advancement of not only biomaterials but also surgical implants, prosthetics, artificial organs, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine. IUSBSE and the World Biomaterials Congress were established in 1996. This article highlights the efforts and contributions of IUSBSE’s past and current presidents from 1980 to 2024 in both academia and industry. The history of IUSBSE acknowledges its background, its role, and the lifetime contributions of its presidents in fostering international networks among students, researchers, and societies in biomaterials science, as well as advancing academic and industrial progress in support of human health.
