The
NanoMedicine Summit is a multidisciplinary scientific meeting devoted to
exploring innovative strategies for translating recent advances in
nanotechnology research into clinical practice and biomedical investigation.
The summit will bring together leading clinical practitioners and biomedical
researchers with top nanoscientists. Expert presentations and panel forums will
highlight state-of-the-art biomedical nanotechnology, discuss specifications
for nanoscale tools for biomedical research, and identify unmet clinical needs
ripe for nanobiotechnology solutions.
