Event: Materials, Medicine and Nanotechnology Summit

Monday, October 02, 2006

 Innovators in medical devices, clinical practice, and biomedical research will gather at Cleveland Clinic October 2-5, 2006 to discuss the latest materials advances and nanotechnology discoveries and how they are resulting in new medical applications.

The Materials, Medicine, and Nanotechnology Summit will be hosted by Cleveland Clinic, ASM International, and the Nano-Network as the anchor event of Nano-WeekTM 2006, a five-day exploration of how nanotechnology is changing our world. The Summit is comprised of the biennial Cleveland Clinic NanoMedicine Summit and ASM’s Materials & Processes for Medical Devices (MPMD) Conference and Exposition.

The Summit will be valuable for academic nanotechnology scientists, medical device engineers, biomedical scientists, medical entrepreneurs, and corporate R&D managers who want to gain clinical perspective and identify opportunities for collaboration, Dr. Roy said. Physicians from a variety of specialties, including cardiac and vascular medicine, neurological diseases, and orthopedic and spine disorders, will also find the meeting useful in understanding how nanotechnology and materials are affecting the roadmap for the future of medicine.

The Summit will take place at the InterContinental Hotel & MBNA Conference Center-Cleveland, located on the Clinic’s campus. For complete details visit: http://www.nanomedicinesummit.org.
