Special Symposium
Nanotechnology is the use of materials with fundamental length scales
less than 100 nm in at least one dimension. Nanotechnology has begun
to revolutionalize materials used for many traditional science and
engineering applications (including catalysis, mechanical structures,
electronics, processing, etc.). However, the use of nanotechnology in
biomedical applications remains at its infancy.

The key driving force is the complementary length scale between
biological structures that range from the 10's of nanometers
(proteins, DNA, viruses) to the micron scale (cells and cellular
assemblies) and the new capabilities of nanosystems to manipulate and
control such feature sizes within our environment.

This symposium will cover the recently publicized advantages of using
nanomaterials in various biomedical applications including as
implants, tissue engineering materials, etc.

Topics & Application Areas
Online abstract submissions are now being accepted. Proposed topics
include, but are not be limited to:

Biological Nanostructures
Biomimetics
Novel Biomaterials
Cellular & Nanostructure Material Interactions
Hydrogel Scaffolds
Artificial Organs
Other
Journal Submissions

Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine (Nanomedicine)
Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine (Nanomedicine) is a
newly established, international, peer-reviewed journal published
quarterly. Nanomedicine publishes basic, clinical, and engineering
research in the innovative field of nanomedicine. Article categories
include basic nanomedicine, diagnostic nanomedicine, experimental
nanomedicine, clinical nanomedicine, and engineering nanomedicine,
pharmacological nanomedicine.

Medicine journal please select the "Submit to Nanomedicine:
Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine" button during the on-line
submission procedure. You may only select a single journal during the
submission process.

Journal of Experimental Nanoscience
Selected Nanotech Proceedings papers will be reviewed and invited into
a Special Issue of the Journal of Experimental Nanoscience. The
journal provides a showcase for advances in the experimental sciences
underlying nanotechnology and nanomaterials.

For consideration into this Special Issue of the Journal of
Experimental Nanoscience, please select the "Submit to Journal of
Experimental Nanoscience" button during the on-line submission
procedure. You may only select a single journal during the submission
