WOBURN, Mass., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- CBI a privately held, world-class conference company announces the addition of a two-day symposium on the formation and formulation of nanoparticles for biotech and pharmaceutical applications to NANO Week’s lineup. “Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Functionalization and Applications for Targeted Drug Delivery” will be held Oct. 27-28 at the InterContinental Hotel and Conference Center on the campus of The Cleveland Clinic.
“NANO Week is expected to bring hundreds of nanotechnology researchers, clinicians and entrepreneurs to Northeast Ohio, and our nanoparticles conference will benefit significantly from being part of it,” said Katrina Zorka, producer of the conference.
Jeff Schloss, Ph.D., program director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, a branch of the NIH, will deliver the keynote address, describing the Institute’s Nanomedicine Roadmap Initiative to oversee the creation of nanomedicine research centers across the United States beginning in 2005.
The nanoparticles conference is the fourth event planned for NANO week which will focus attention on both the expanding role of nanotechnology in health care and the most attractive business ideas emerging from the world’s leading nanotechnology research laboratories.
The Nano-Network, a group of scientists, entrepreneurs and investors who share the vision of expanding Northeast Ohio’s nanotechnology research and commercialization capabilities, is the driving force behind NANO Week.
