The 2006 Summer Bioengineering Conference
The
Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) will hold the 2006 Summer Bioengineering Conference
on June 21-25, 2006 at the beautiful Amelia Island Plantation,
Amelia Island, Florida. Since 1993, the Summer Bioengineering
Conference has been a forum for informal interactions and exchange
of ideas among new and experienced members of the bioengineering
community. In a uniquely relaxed atmosphere, the Conference provides
an outstanding venue for researchers, educators and students,
bioengineers, biologists and clinicians – from industry,
academia and clinical organizations - for state-of-the-art and
in depth discussions.
Endorsement
and Recognition
With
such reputation, the conference was able to attract speakers
like Nobel Laureate Dr. Steven Chu, Drs. Craig Benham and Ray
Keller, Boston Scientific’s John Abele and Dr. Firouz Naderi
of the Mars Exploration project. It is endorsed by the Biomedical
Engineering Society (BMES), IEEE Engineering in Medicine and
Biology (IEEE/EMBS), and the United States National Committee
on Biomechanics (USNCB) and became a prominent professional event
and a magnet to the best talents and prospects in bioengineering.
Attendance:
Bioengineering leaders; Record Numbers
A
record of over 800 people attended last year’s conference
in Vail, Colorado. Nearly every
university in the US now boasts degree programs in biomedical
engineering or bioengineering. About half of the attendees were
students – undergraduate seniors, masters and doctoral students
– presenting their research and projects and launching professional
or research careers. About a quarter of the participants were
both young and established researchers – from clinical and
from academic institutions; many of whom head robust research
programs – contributing expertise and experience to the
discussions. Representatives of industry and other private research,
manufacturing and support services organizations complete the
attendee list. The 2006 Summer Bioengineering Conference is projected
to set a new attendance record of 1,000 participants.
Presenting
Cutting-Edge-Research, Discovery and Innovation
The
program is focused around four research stems: cell and tissue
engineering, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer in biotechnology
and solid mechanics. Under these umbrellas are sessions titled
Cell Adhesion and Molecular Interactions, Mechanobiology of Stem
Cells, Biomechanics of Endovascular Grafts, Left Ventricular
Assist Devices, Biophysical Phenomenon in Cell, Preservation,
Viscoelasticity of Soft Tissue, Clinical Applications of Computational
Mechanics and many others. The final program is currently being
revised and assembled.
The 2006 Summer
Bioengineering Conference is:
- A prominent professional
event; a magnet for leading speakers, academicians and industry;
- A forum for informal interactions
and exchange of ideas among members of the bioengineering community;
- A unique setting accommodating
for graduate and undergraduate students, industry
- representatives and both
new and experienced researchers;
The conference provides an opportunity for the professionals
in the following areas to connect with
leaders in the biomedical engineering and bioengineering arena:
- Scientific vendors seeking
exposure to state-of-the-art research
- Publishers seeking cutting-edge
content
- Law offices and consulting
agencies interacting with the FDA
- Law offices and consulting
agencies dealing with intellectual property
- Placement agencies
- Economic and business development
organization
- Design and technology development
houses
The conference is also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate
support and commitment to
biomedical and bioengineering research in our universities.
