Abstract:
Leading Researchers and Clinicians From Biotech Industries, National Institutes of Health, Educational Institutions and Medical Facilities Will Discuss the Present and Future of Nanomedicine for Imaging and Treatment During Gathering at Cedars-Sinai on March 13-14.
WHO:
Nobel laureate Martin Chalfie, PhD, will be the keynote speaker at Cedars-Sinai's Nanomedicine for Imaging and Treatment Conference, where two dozen experts from around the world will discuss emerging trends in the study and treatment of diseases at the molecular and atomic levels. Chalfie received the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his part in the discovery and development of green fluorescent protein, found in a species of jellyfish. The protein glows when excited by light. Because it can be attached to many biological substances to make them readily visible, it has become a fundamental tool in a wide range of medical and scientific fields.
WHAT:
Cedars-Sinai's Nanomedicine for Imaging and Treatment Conference. This year's program will focus on three issues:
-Nanomedicine and imaging: How far are we from patient care?
-Latest preclinical and clinical advances in the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and other pathological conditions.
-The role of the National Institutes of Health in nanodrug and nano-imaging development.
The conference also will address issues relevant to the biotech industry and the legal profession.
WHEN:
March 13-14, 2015
WHERE:
Cedars-Sinai's Harvey Morse Auditorium. Additional information is available at www.nanobiomed2015.org .
