Colloids and Nanomedicine 2012

View Full Event Details

This conference will provide reviews and discussions with leading international scientists and engineers working in the fields of biomaterials, drug delivery, sensors, imaging and diagnostics. It will provide a synthesis between medical/biological needs and advanced colloids/surface properties, the latter based on detailed physicochemical understanding.

Topics:

• Biomaterials
• Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
• Drug delivery
• Biosensors
• Surfaces and colloids in imaging and diagnostics
• Microfluidics with colloidal systems
• Toxicology and risk assessment of nanomedicine systems
• Responsive colloids and materials
• Lipid and biomimetic membranes
• Proteins and peptides at interfaces
• Soft matter, surfactants, polymers in biological systems
• Adsorption, catalysis, and electrochemistry in biological systems
• Interfacial processes, capillarity and wetting in biological systems
• Novel phenomena and techniques
  

Speakers:

• Henk Busscher, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
• Frank Caruso, University of Melbourne, Australia
• Ole G. Mouritsen, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
• Milan Mrksich, Northwestern University, USA
• Samuel I. Stupp, Northwestern University, USA
• Marcus Textor, ETH, Switzerland
• Stefaan De Smedt, University of Gent, Belgium
