Conference Scene: 2nd Annual European Conference for Clinical Nanomedicine

摘要

The 2nd European Conference for Clinical Nanomedicine (European CLINAM Conference) was held in April 2009 in Basel, Switzerland, and is the annual scientific conference of the European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine (European CLINAM Foundation) and the European Society for Nanomedicine. The meeting brings together clinicians and nanoscientists with the common vision of applying nanoscience methods, tools and materials for the benefit of the patient. This year’s topics were unsolved medical problems in the fields of cardiology, oncology, neurologyeurosurgery, dermatology, orphan diseases, orthopedics and implants, hematology, inflammatory and infections diseases, and ear and eye diseases. Over the course of 3 days, 90 presentations by outstanding experts from many different fields of science and engineering laid the ground for debating the translational path from idea, project and concept towards clinical application between the interdisciplinary community. The occasion of the CLINAM Conference was taken by the European Society for Nanomedicine and the American Society for Nanomedicine as the venue for the first meeting of the new International Society for Nanomedicine. This international society was created to be a global organization that represents cooperation and collaboration without borders in all fields of nanomedicine.
