ESF-UB conference on 'Nanomedicine'

The 2008 Nanomedicine Conference is the second in a series of biannual in-depth meetings which aim to bring together a diversified public in order to integrate converging science in the biomedical applications using nanotechnology. Nanomedicine in its consensus definition established by a broad group of experts within the ESF initiatives brings together different areas that will be reflected on the Conference Sessions covering the following topics:
Molecular and Patient Imaging
Regulation of Medicines, Diagnostics & Devices
Innovation in Materials Science
Nanotoxicology & Cellular Fate
Characterisation of Nanostructures & Surfaces
Nanopharmaceuticals in Research & Development
Diagnostics, Biosensors & Surgical Tools
Ethical Issues
Clinical Applications.

The 'Nanomedicine' meeting series has been established to encourage interdisciplinary exchange at the leading edge of all aspects of nanomedicine research and its development into clinical practice. Participation is limited to 150 delegates and applications to attend are particularly welcome from academics, clinicians and industrialists working in, or wishing to, enter this new and exciting field. Participation of those interested in the regulation of nanomedicine development and use, and the ethical and societal issues, are also welcome. To ensure lively discussion cross-discipline all delegates and speakers are requested to attend the whole meeting. There will be no publication of abstracts to enable exchange of the very latest data.For further information about this conference, visit http://www.esf.org/conferences/08218(opens in new window) or contact Ms Jean Kelly (jkelly@esf.org)
