Call for Papers: ASME 2013 2nd Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB2013)

The ASME 2013 2nd Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB2013) will be held February 4-6, 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts. The 2013 Congress will focus on the integration of engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology in addressing fundamental problems in biology and medicine and in developing devices, materials and methods for the early detection, imaging of pathological and physiological mechanisms, and treatment of disease.

Technical contributions will consist of oral and poster presentations, including plenary and invited keynote talks. Additional contributions will be presented by members of the engineering community, scientists, clinicians, students and experts from industry and will be focused on the development of new tools, methods and materials impacting biomedicine and life sciences, including nanomedicine and biologically inspired materials and technology.

The following areas will be the focus of NEMB2013:

Track 1 Bioengineering for Medical Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Imaging
Track 2 Nano-/Microfluidics in Biology and Medicine: Analysis, Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Track 3 Nanoengineering for Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering
Track 4 Manufacturing and Materials for Nanomedicine, Biology and Nanoengineering
Track 5 Multiscale Modeling and Experiment in Biology and Medicine
Track 6 Biological Nanomechanics: Materials Factors in Physiology, Disease and Treatment
Track 7 Natural, Biomimetic and Bioinspired Materials and Structures
Track 8 Nanotechnology and Public Health

Tutorials on emerging topics of Nanoengineering for Medicine & Biology will be offered

This is the overall publication schedule for NEMB2013. For specific details and questions regarding these dates, please contact the appropriate volunteer organizer.

Call for Abstracts: 2012 Meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders
Japan
06/29/2012

Call for Abstracts: 2012 Meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders

The 2012 meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders (ISHCSF) will be held in Kyoto, Japan from October 19 to 22, 2012 (Hydrocephalus 2012, Kyoto).

Deadline of ‘Abstract Submission’ and ‘Abstract Modification’: June 29, 2012

This meeting will present the latest advances in the clinical care of and research in hydrocephalus and CSF disorders. Through this meeting, we expect to accomplish the ISHCSF mission of pursuing both clinical and basic research of CSF circulation and its related disorders and thereby promoting the best possible care for patients with these disorders.

There has been nearly a hundred-year of CSF research history since the pioneering work of Harvey Cushing. Research has produced many achievements in this field, but unsolved problems remain and challenge us to take the next step toward solving them.

Of course, another purpose of this meeting is to give all participants the opportunity to communicate, discuss freely, and share their recent progress in this field. We warmly welcome all participants and their families from all over the world.

Topics are listed below. Any scientific abstracts in the field of CSF and hydrocephalus are welcome. Accepted papers will be presented. You may select topics and sessions, but the organizing committee will determine the acceptance, type of presentation and session after reviewing all abstracts.
