ar, the Summit's steering committee aims to build on the
momentum of the 2004 and 2006 events, by connecting leaders at the
forefront of nanotechnology who are developing cutting edge,
next-generation nanotechnology products and solutions for the healthcare
industry. Since nanoparticles are becoming increasingly used in innovative
research for the development of medical applications and devices, this
year's Summit will highlight the impact these unique nanostructures are
having on diagnosis and treatment of disease.
"NanoMedicine is an emerging and expanding field with myriad
applications and may play an important role is translational research - or
moving laboratory research to patient care," said Vinod Labhasetwar, PhD,
Director of Cleveland Clinic's Cancer NanoMedicine Program. "The
applications of NanoMedicine are vast and may lead to the development of
new diagnostic tools, early disease detection and new drug therapies."
Cleveland Clinic's Cancer NanoMedicine Program is a joint program of the
Lerner Research Institute's Department of Biomedical Engineering and
Taussig Cancer Institute.
Topics to be covered at the summit include the use of nanoparticles for:
-- Imaging cancer and other diseases
-- Drug delivery
-- Treatment of disease
-- Biological investigation
-- Basic nanomedicine research
Confirmed speakers for the 2008 NanoMedicine Summit are top
nanoscientists and business professionals from around the country,
including leading biomedical researchers, clinician investigators,
technologists from public and private companies, and medical industry
thought leaders.
"Case Western Reserve University is pleased to welcome these renowned
scientists to Cleveland. The recent award of a Biomedical Research and
Commercialization Grant from the State of Ohio in nanomedical technology
with Case Western Reserve University as lead institution testifies to the
emphasis on this promising field on our campus,
