COLN2012 — Colloids and Nanomedicine 2012
Amsterdam, Netherlands (July, 15-17, 2012)
Following the successful Colloids and Materials 2011, this second event in the "Colloids" series of conferences will have a focus on the rapidly growing Nanomedicine area.
As
with the previous meeting, a platform will be provided for first-rate
reviews and discussions with leading international scientists and
engineers working in the fields of biomaterials, drug delivery, sensors, imaging and diagnostics.
This conference will provide a synthesis between medical/biological
needs and advanced colloids/surface properties (the latter based on
detailed physicochemical understanding).This in turn promising for a
more rational materials and product development.
Abstracts for poster and oral presentations are invited on the following topics:
- Biomaterials
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
- Drug delivery
- Biosensors
- Surfaces and colloids in imaging and diagnostics
- Microfluidics with colloidal systems
- Toxicology and risk assessment of nanomedicine systems
- Responsive colloids and materials
- Lipid and biomimetic membranes
- Proteins and peptides at interfaces
- Soft matter, surfactants, polymers in biological systems
- Adsorption, catalysis, and electrochemistry in biological systems
- Interfacial processes, capillarity and wetting in biological systems
- Novel phenomena and techniques
