Dr Antonios G Mikos
Louis Calder Professor of Bioengineering, Rice University, USA. ORGANIZING SECRETARY

The purpose of this conference is to bring together world leaders in the field of regenerative medicine and molecular medicine wherein nanotechnology provides a major value addition. Both these fields of medicine represent the cutting edge, or the new frontier, of medicine whereby cellular mechanisms are selectively engineered to make a quantum improvement in treatment, particularly in this age of drug resistance and tissue degeneration or loss that afflicts a large percentage of the population. This conference will focus on Regenerative Medicine, Cancer Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery and Molecular Medicine each of which will be represented by leaders in the field. The conference will have a Gordon Conference style format wherein there can be active discussions of new and emerging ideas. There will be brainstorming of where future research emphasis should be placed and of the problems that most need to be addressed. This conference is designed for scientists in the field as well as for PhD scholars, post doctoral scientists and new researchers who are beginning to enter this exciting field. Those interested in regulatory and investment aspects pertaining to Bio Nanotechnology products are also encouraged to attend.
