PPEGS Boston 2018 – NEW Nanotechnology in Medicine Conference
Dear Member, welcome to PEGS BOSTON 2018
April 30 – May 4
Location: Seaport World Trade Center, Boston MA
Nanotechnology in medicine, or nanomedicine, is a relatively new field. The use of nanoparticles to diagnose and treat diseases as well as future potential to make repairs at the cellular level has spawned great interest among the pharma and biopharma industries.
CHI’s inaugural Nanotechnology in Medicine conference seeks to bring together the interdisciplinary researchers from chemistry, engineering, biology and medicine together to explore the use of nanomaterials including nanoparticles, nanodevices, nanorobots, that will revolutionize drug delivery, diagnostics and therapeutics applications.
