International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology - Invited Speakers
The 4th ICBN's three keynote speakers are:
-
Ruth Duncan, professor of Biology and Drug Delivery at the Welsh School of Pharmacy, Cardiff University, UK and Director of the Centre for Polymer Therapeutics. Professor Duncan's research has transferred 6 polymer anticancer conjugates into clinical trial and the first 2 polymer-based gamma camera imaging agents. The title of her talk is "Nanomedicines (Science and Policy)."
-
Jerome Bibette, Professor, Colloids and Divided Materials Laboratory, ESPCI, Paris, France. Professor Bibette's research is focused on making and assembling colloids to become precursors for new materials and to offer new routes for biomedical diagnostics. The title of his talk is "Experiments on Self Assemblies of Magnetic colloids."
-
Jeff Hubbell, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and director of the Institute for Biomedical Engineering of the ETH and the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Professor Hubbell's laboratory is directed toward biomaterials issues in tissue engineering, cell-based therapies, drug delivery, and medical devices. The title of his talk is "Materials Activity in Modulating Morphogenesis and Cell-Specific Responses."
Confirmed, invited speakers include the following experts:
