3rd European Conference for Clinical Nanomedicine

including CLINAM “University Village” and Foyer Pioneers-Exhibition

May 10 – 12, 2010

This conference is

  • The focal meeting point in Europe to get insight into the state of the art in clinical nanomedicine and to learn about the research and latest results in Nanomedicine.
  • The  place to investigate not only the state of the art of clinical nanomedicine but also the translational pathway towards the practice, the product and the applicability to the benefit of patients.
  • The conference with a small foyer exhibition for pioneers and a university village for universities and research institutes, presenting novel approaches, new research projects and initial outcomes of research and experimental results.
  • The translational meeting striving to bridge the research side with the applicability of Nanomedicine to the benefit of the patient
  • The pathway to best practice for interdisciplinary cooperation in order to achieve translation in Nanomedicine .
