Nanomedicine: Reality Now and Soon - ESF-UB Conference in Biomedicine
The application of nanotechnology will have a major influence in many fields of medicine. Novel nano-based materials appear in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, imaging, biosensing, and medical materials and devices. This conference aims to provide detailed understanding and discuss the clinical utility of those areas of nanomedicine which are close to application or already clinically applied/on the market. Invited international experts active in nanomedicine development from industry, clinic and academia will give in-depth lectures on the state-of-the-art including a critical analysis of the likely impact on human healthcare. Spotlights will also be put on new possibilities arising in the near future.
Sessions will include: Advanced Nanomaterials; Nanobioanalytics & Nanotoxicology; Nanopharmaceuticals on the Market; Interactions with the Biological Milieu; Nanoimaging; Ligand-Mediated Targeting; Nanopharmaceuticals in Clinical Development; Targeted Nanomedicine & EC; Intracellular Delivery of Macromolecules; Tissue Repair.
Conference format:
- lectures by invited high level speakers
- short talks by young & early stage researchers
- poster sessions, round table and open discussion periods
