21st Century Medicine Conference /Exhibition:
Breakthroughs and Challenges  
(Organised by : Intitute of Nanotechnolgies - IoN)

Some of the most exciting research in the world is being undertaken in the field of medicine. Many challenges exist in identifying disease at the earliest possible stage and preventing and treating cancer, congenital, degenerative and infectious diseases – and increasingly, lifestyle induced diseases such as diabetes.

Even greater challenges exist in bringing affordable, safe medicines to a wide population, and in enabling the elderly to remain active and maintain their faculties for as long as possible.

Hear what international experts think the greatest medical challenges are, and how they can be met using the new technologies to unravel the secrets of illness and create the means whereby we can all live longer, healthier lives .

Main Themes in the Programme

Frontiers in Nanomedicine ; Commercialising Nanotechnology – Opportunities and Challenges ; Advances in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine ; Novel Devices, Nanosensors and Diagnostics ; Cancer, Congenital and Degenerative disease.
