ESNAM: The Conference
The European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine (CLINAM foundation)
organizes in conjunction with
the European Society for Nanomedicine (ESNAM)
First European Conference for Clinical Nanomedicine
May 19 and 20, Messe Schweiz, Basel, Switzerland
Welcome to the Conference
New nanotechnology-based methods and materials with innovative nanoscale properties are being investigated to improve the prevention, early and reliable diagnosis and effective treatment of prevalent and of currently incurable diseases. Successful developments in major areas of research such as targeted drug delivery, medical nanomaterials, diagnostic imaging, regenerative medicine, and biomaterial implants have already elicited favourable responses.
Until now the biomedical evaluation of nanomedical research has largely been limited to cell and animal experiments. However, an increasing number of products is being tested clinically and some are even reaching the market. Specific challenges are the facilitation of clinical nanomedical research, the development of regulatory expertise to assess adequately nanomedicines, the assessment of the implications of nanomedicine for the individual and society.
The first European Conference for clinical Nanomedicine lays a strong foundation for the successful collaboration between clinical physicians and academic nanomedicine researchers willing to bring their research to clinical application. This conference for clinical nanomedicine will show the promise of nanomedical tools, techniques, and materials in the context of prevalent and unsolved medical problems, e.g. diagnosis and therapy of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, infection, degenerative and neurologic disease, as well as nanomedicine applications for molecular imaging, bedside biomarker testing and monitoring technologies, also addressing questions of toxicity, societal and environmental impact.
