The latest developments and challenges in nanomedicine, drug delivery vehicles, drug/device combination products, robotic surgery, orthopedic implants and prosthetic devices, artificial organs and eHealth will be detailed and discussed in eight workshops and 10 breakout sessions, and the MEDi 2008 exhibit floor will follow a similar line, including pavilions for new companies and international participants.

Résumé: Welcome to the 2008 International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU8). This event is intended to provide a major forum for clinicians, basic scientists, and engineers working on all aspects of therapeutic ultrasound to exchange ideas and present their latest results. The meeting will be held September 10 – 13, 2008 at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel, 1001 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

Since their inception in 2001, the ISTU meetings have been strengthened by participation from the therapeutic ultrasound industry. In addition, the meetings have been truly international with well-balanced participation from North America, Europe, and Asia. The organizers of ISTU8 hope to maintain this strong international participation as well as the blend of clinical and basic research contributions to the technical program. The symposium will include three days of technical sessions featuring plenary talks; special sessions with both invited and contributed presentation

Résumé: In this conference the role of inorganic colloidal nanoparticles in the life sciences will be discussed. Chemists, physicists, and engineers can synthesis particles with high precision and tailored properties, but they are often not aware of the precise nature of biological problems. On the other hand, biologically motivated scientists are bound to solve their problems with commercially available particles, which still fall behind to the state-of-the-art particles available in modern materials research concerning their homogeneity and defined properties. For this reason the conference attempts to cover the whole interdisciplinary range starting from the chemical synthesis of functional colloidal nanoparticles, the characterization of their physical properties, the design of appropriate interfaces to biology, until their use as in vitro sensors and in vivo labels in life sciences, and diagnostics in medicine.

Résumé: Computational techniques play an ever increasing role in the fields of Cardiology and Electrophysiology.

Résumé: This meeting is designed to bring together scientists from all over the world who have been involved in research interest in the broad area of exercise physiology. The meeting is designed to provide a strong scientific program with participant interaction and emphasize emerging research performed by young investigators. The participants will likely focus on recent important advances in the traditional areas of interest in exercise (e.g. metabolic control, cell signaling, satellite/stem cells biology, hypertrophy, vascular adaptations) as well as significant new developments in emerging areas of science that have great relevance to investigators interested in exercise (e.g. mechanical signal transduction, AMPK, cytokines). The goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of exercise physiology and interdisciplinary efforts to assess its impact on the systems of the body.

Résumé: NANOSENS 2008 highlights latest developments of nanosensors for applications in biology and medicine!

Nanotechnology is more than the extreme end of miniaturisation: physical, chemical and biological functions are joining at the nanoscale and enable new possibilities for sensor development. Nanotechnology offers innovative tools for detection where conventional technologies are reaching their limits and has the potential to make significant contributions to detection and prevention of diseases.

The conference is an information and discussion forum presenting recent R&D results in four selected topical fields with highest application potential. NANOSENS 2008 is of great interest for industrial users as well as scientists and advanced students.

Résumé: Nanotechnology is a new exciting field of study that has the potential to revolutionise the way that medical and healthcare solutions are developed and delivered.

Résumé: Engineering Conferences International (ECI) is a not-for-profit global engineering conferences program, originally established in 1962, that provides opportunities for the exploration of problems and issues of concern to engineers and scientists from many disciplines.

The format of the conference provides morning and late afternoon or evening sessions in which major presentations are made. Poster sessions will be scheduled for discussion as well. Available time is included during the afternoons for ad hoc meetings, informal discussions, and/or recreation. This format is designed to enhance rapport among participants and promote dialogue on the development of the meeting. We believe the

Résumé: This years Chemical Nanotechnology Talks IX, ”Bio meets Nano“, sets its focus on interfaces between nanotechnology and the biologically relevant sciences such as biotechnology, biology and medicine, pharmacology and toxicology. Chip technology, biocidic surfaces and anti-fouling but also improved biocompatibility of materials are some of the topics that will be covered by this years Chemical Nanotechnology Talks (CNT IX). The presentations will cover recent results of this emerging interdisciplinary field. As in previous years, the poster party will provide you with sufficient time for discussion at the posters and with colleagues as an integral part of CNT. This creates a brilliant opportunity for networking with old and new friends. Introduced in the last years we will have a poster prize again, awarded not only with an amount of money but also connected with the opportunity for the poster prize winner, to present her or his work at the second day of CNT IX with a 15 min. short lecture. The best posters will be elected by the scientific committee.

Résumé: This two-day meeting will focus upon advances in the analysis of biological materials under ambient conditions, through such methods as scanning probe microscopy and emerging mass spectrometry, and the interaction of biological systems with surfaces and nanoparticles. The highly successful NMAET series concentrates on in-depth, frontier issues in surface and nano-analysis and this year's meeting will be held in conjunction with the 10th SSBII meeting. Both NMAET and SSBII attract world-leading scientists from industry and academia, and this meeting will enable a lively and engaging discussion on the frontier issues in biomolecular surface analysis.

Résumé: The aims of the meeting are to provide a forum for scientific issues in PET/CT and to provide attendees with up to date information on PET/CT facility design, testing and staff safety. An insight into the use of PET/CT in the research environment and also the production of PET radiopharmaceuticals will be given. The meeting will consist of proffered papers and invited presentations from leading figures in the field.

Résumé: Modern cell biology has made great strides in understanding cell structure and function. As with any engineering problem, however, there is a third important aspect that needs to be understood besides structure and function, and that is assembly. How are the complex three dimensional structures found within the cell specified by a one-dimensional genome? In this session we will explore the mechanisms by which cellular structures are determined and regulated. Because this question lies at the interface of biology and physics, we have put together a highly interdisciplinary session with speakers whose interests range from soft matter physics and mathematical modeling to imaging and cell biology.

Résumé: This event is the most important meeting on statistical physics in Mexico and it has been taking place yearly for the last thirty seven years with high scientific level.
