"We are pleased to be partnering with the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute and Case Western Reserve University to host the 2008 NanoMedicine Summit. The steering committee has organized a top quality program to highlight the latest nanotechnology advancements in diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutics. The Summit will emphasize nanotechnologies that will impact the development of future healthcare in a global economy," said Alexis Abramson, Ph.D., Senior Fellow at NorTech, Executive Director of the Nano-Network and Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University.

The NanoMedicine Summit made its debut in Cleveland in 2004 with a focus on nanotechnology applications in cardiology, neurology, oncology and orthopaedics. In 2006, the event highlighted nanomaterials for medical devices used in orthopedics and spinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurology and neurosurgery, and minimally invasive surgery. Both events were an overwhelming success, each attracting a broad audience of over 300 people, from across the United States.
