The Materials, Medicine and Nanotechnology Summit is part of Nano-Week 2006, a five-day exploration of how nanotechnology is changing our world.
The Cleveland Clinic, ASM International and the Nano-Network will partner to host the Materials, Medicine and Nanotechnology Summit as part of Nano-Week 2006, a five-day exploration of how nanotechnology is changing our world.
The anchor event will be held from 2nd to 5th October 2006 at the InterContinental Hotel and MBNA Conference Centre in Cleveland and will focus on nanotechnology advancements in materials and medicine.
The event comprises the biennial Cleveland Clinic NanoMedicine Summit and ASM's annual Materials and Processes for Medical Devices (MPMD) Conference and Exposition.
"Holding our two successful and respected events as a blended event has resulted in a more comprehensive technical programme", said Shuvo Roy, PhD, Co-Director of the Clinic's BioMEMS Laboratory.
"Materials, medicine and nanotechnology has evolved into a multidisciplinary scientific, applied research and networking summit for nanotechnology and MEMS researchers, biomechanical and materials scientists and engineers, surgeons and clinicians".
The summit will feature a world-class lineup of medical device engineers, nanotechnology researchers, and the leading medical practitioners in the fields of cardiology, neurology, oncology and orthopaedics.
On Monday 2nd October, ASM will offer materials and process-related training courses for engineers and physicians who work with medical devices, with CME accreditation.
Tuesday 3rd October will offer the first blended technical programming from the Clinic and ASM, covering the spectrum of materials-related challenges and opportunities in medicine, from traditional materials to next generation and nanomaterials.
On Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th October, the summit will explore innovative strategies for translating recent advances in nanotechnology research into clinical practice and biomedical investigation.
A focus on clinical BioMEMS and nanotechnology will drive the presentations.
Exhibits on Tuesday and Wednesday will feature advances in materials and processes for medical devices, from the standpoint of both manufacturers and suppliers.
"By providing a forum for information exchange in a multidisciplinary environment, we're encouraging crossover learning", said Stan Theobald, ASM Managing Director.
"Clinicians will be exposed to materials and related issues, while materials producers and medical device manufacturers can begin to understand the materials and process challenges faced in medicine".
"Most important, all of us will share a vision of what the future holds for medicine, as achieved through advances in MEMS and nanotechnology".
