The 1st International Conference on BioNano Innovation (ICBNI) will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on Grey Street from Wednesday 18 July through to Friday 20 July 2012.
The intersection of Biology with Nanoscience and Nanotechnology currently represents one of the most exciting wellsprings of scientific innovation. The 1st International Conference on BioNano Innovation (ICBNI) provides a wonderful multi-disciplinary forum to connect scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs in this rapidly expanding area.
The conference will feature an exciting list of International leaders and experts in this field. As well as Plenary and Keynote sessions, the conference will host five parallel symposia on: Nanostructured Polymers, Vaccines, Functional Nanomaterials and Nanosystems, Regenerative Medicine, and Synthetic Biology. To encourage young researchers in this field, the conference will also hold a special symposium for Early Career researchers (the BioNano ECR symposium).
Abstract Submissions have opened
The deadline is Friday, 25 May 2012.
