Annual Symposium Synopsys
Nanotechnology is the use of materials with fundamental length scales less than
100 nm in at least one dimension. Nanotechnology has begun to revolutionalize
materials used for many traditional science and engineering applications
(including catalysis, mechanical structures, electronics, processing, etc.).
However, the use of nanotechnology in biomedical applications remains at its
infancy.
The key driving force is the complementary length scale between biological
structures that range from the 10's of nanometers (proteins, DNA, viruses) to
the micron scale (cells and cellular assemblies) and the new capabilities of
nanosystems to manipulate and control such feature sizes within our environment.
This symposium will cover the recently publicized advantages of using
nanomaterials in various biomedical applications including as implants, tissue
engineering materials, etc.

Submit Proposal or Comment to Committee Chair
We encourage you to participate and to submit your interest as either an
Scientific Committee Member or to organize a Scientific Committee*. The
NSTI will provide the infrastructure for each Industrial Committee to
organize and present a focused Symposium at the annual Nanotech
Conference and Trade Show (Nanotech 2008,
Boston, Massachusetts, June 1-5, 2008). Details will be provide upon approval of
proposal.
* All submissions will be reviewed by the NSTI Scientific Committee
Chairs and a timely response will be issued.
