ESF Research Conferences

3rd European Science Foundation Summer School

Nanomedicine 2011

19 - 24 June 2011

Preliminary Programme

The ESF Summer School has been designed to provide an intensive state-of the-art training across all of the sub-disciplines of Nanomedicine, and to foster discussion and exchange of ideas in a relaxed atmosphere. The lectures, tutorials and interactive workshops will particularly cover all aspects that are needed to transfer new nanotechnologies from bench to bedside – from materials science and engineering to clinical need, from rational design of nanopharmaceuticals, imaging agents and constructs for tissue engineering to safe and practical development. The programme will be structured to allow free time in the afternoon for informal networking and small group tutorials with timetabled events in the morning, late afternoon and evening. Posters will be mounted throughout the meeting.
