Free Online Workshop on Nanotechnology for Biomedical Applications
UK | Posted on May 17th, 2010
The potential of nanotechnology to support biomedical applications, including techniques for intelligent diagnostics and therapeutics, probing and repairing of individual cells, nano-inspired implants, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, is widely acknowledged. Find out more about current developments, network with other researchers and share research interests in a free online workshop on ‘Nanotechnology for Biomedical Applications' organized by the ICPC Nanonet project on Friday May 28th from 11.00-13.00 GMT (12.00-14.00 BST).
Expert speakers include Prof Chanchal Mitra- Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Hyderabad, India Dr Mustafa Selman Yavuz- Professor at the NanoMedicine and Advanced Technologies Research Center, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
Participation is free for registered users of the ICPC-NanoNet website (sign up free of charge at www.icpc-nanonet.org). Numbers limited to first 25 registrations.
