Date: 4th December 2014, 1:00-5:30pm
Venue: Hughes Hall, Pavilion Room
We invite you to participate in this winter’s NanoForum workshop ‘New Research Horizons in Nanomedicine’ to be held on 4th December at Hughes Hall.
This workshop aims to boost networking and collaboration between different Cambridge-based scientists working in nanomedicine related topics. The workshop will showcase the current research carried out in the field including diagnosis tools, drug delivery and regenerative medicine systems as well as new methods for bionanomaterials characterisation. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion session on challenges in nanomedicine field with the objective to develop new strategies and exchange novel ideas to tackle these challenges.
The workshop will be highly multidisciplinary bringing together researchers from engineering, physical, biological and clinical sciences
