NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology Conference

Conference
Sunday, February 21, 2016 to Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Cutting-edge nanoengineering research continues to fuel medical research and transform patient care. This plays a vital role in current and emerging technologies, and contributes to all areas of engineering. But, the future of nanotechnology and bioengineering requires synergy beyond mechanical engineering to include scientists, clinicians, physicists, chemists, electrical engineers and biologists. NEMB 2016 Conference Chair Gang Bao (Rice University), Technical Program Chair Warren Chan (University of Toronto) and the entire NEMB 2016 Steering Committee invite you to join us in Houston, February 21 – 24, 2016, as ASME brings together the relevant players and key stakeholders conducting this research to discuss the integration of engineering, materials science and nanotechnology in addressing fundamental problems in biology and medicine.
