18th of Nov 2013, Addenbrooke’s Treatment Centre, Level 3, Seminar Room 3, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge
We invite you to participate in this autumn’s NanoForum workshop ‘NanoClinic: New frontiers in medical technology’ co-chaired by Prof Sir Mark Welland and Revd Dr Alasdair Coles to be held on 18th Nov in Cambridge. This half-day workshop is aimed at researchers interested in applying cutting-edge technological advancements to long-standing clinical challenges. The workshop will bring together a growing community of Cambridge researchers interested in expediting the translation of advancements in the physical sciences to practical applications in a clinical setting.
The scope of the workshop will include topics such as:
- Novel diagnostic tools
- Biosensors
- Drug delivery techniques
- Advanced biomaterials
These new technologies will be applied to grand clinical challenges such as:
- Neurodegenerative disorders
- Immune diseases
- Cancer
- Tissue regeneration
