International Conference 2017

2017 International Conference on BioNano Innovation - Brisbane, 24 - 27 September

The ConferenceThe International Conference on Bio-Nano Innovation (ICBNI 2017) to be held on The University of Queensland campus in September 2017 will present the latest advances in the most exciting and commercially-promising area of science and engineering, i.e. the interface between the biological and physical sciences at the nanoscale. Science and technology at the Bio-Nano Interface is delivering not only new understanding of our world, but is being translated into valuable products in a vast array of areas, such as microelectronics, biologics and other therapeutics, stem cell therapies, new vehicles and approaches to delivering drugs, advanced diagnostics tools, nanocomposites. The ICBNI brings world leaders in the relevant fields to discuss their latest results and the latest advances in the field. A particular focus of the conference will be an exploration of the path from invention to commercial realisation, and the scientific sessions will therefore focus on that translational pathway. The commercial focus of the work to be presented at the conference will also attract a range of industry and government leaders.We invite you to be a part of ICBNI 2017, and to use this opportunity to meet world-leading scientists and to learn of the latest trends in this exciting and dynamic field.

The ProgramThe ICBNI 2017 has five major themes:

• Nanomedicine• Stem Cells Science and Therapies• Energy and the Environment• Biotechnologies (Industrial Biotechnology and Biologic Medicines)• Fundamentals of Nanobio.

Each theme will be highlighted by a plenary speaker who is a world-leader in that field, and supported by around 50 keynote lectures, 50 contributed talks and 200-300 posters. Overall we expect 500 participants from across the globe. The structure of the program will generate great interest for both academic and industrial scientists working in the area of nanobiotechnology, including sensing, materials and devices as well as drug delivery and nanomedicine, nanomedical imaging, nanotoxicology and characterization techniques.
