BioMed 2011 - 2011 8th IASTED International Conference on Biomedical Engineering (BioMed)

In recent years, with the aid of engineering and information technology, biomedical engineering has emerged as a high-tech field, generating innovation in such areas as medical imaging, bioinformatics, MEMS and nanotechnology, new biomaterials and sensors, medical robotics, and neurobiology. Scientists and engineers in this field have recently been working towards such advances as developing artificial organs that mimic natural human organs, conducting telemedicine, performing surgeries with robots, creating a laboratory-on-a-chip, and controlling robots through natural animal brain matter.

Purpose
The Eighth IASTED International Conference on Biomedical Engineering (Biomed 2011) will be an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest research, results, and ideas in biomedical engineering.
