9th International Symposium on Microchemistry and Microsystems (ISMM 2017) will be taking place in Tasmania, Australia on 26-29 June 2017. The conference is being run in conjunction with the 7th Advances in Microfluidics & Nanofluidics (AMN), the 5th Asia-Pacific Chemical and Biological Microfluidic Conference (APCBM) and the 8th Australia New Zealand Nano-Microfluidics Symposium (ANZNMF) and together promise to boast an exciting range of topics and talks from the microfluidics community.

This is the first major international meeting to be held in Australia with a strong focus on microfluidics and miniaturised chemistry, engineering and medicine, and will provide a unique opportunity and forum to discuss the latest developments in the field with researchers from all over the world.

Look our for Lab on a Chip Editorial Board member Yoon-Kyoung Cho (UNIST, South Korea) and Advisory Board member Amy E. Herr (US Berkeley, USA), who will both be giving Plenary lectures during the event and a Keynote lecture from Advisory Board member Qun Fang (Zhejiang University, China)

Lab on a Chip is delighted to be a sponsor of: 

Microfluidics, Physics & Chemistry of  – Gordon Research Conference.

The event will take place on 4th – 9th June 2017 in Barga, Italy.

The conference brings together scientists, engineers and clinicians to discuss and advance cutting edge knowledge of microfluidics. Microfluidics are small scale systems that could be used to diagnose disease, enable unique physical and biological experiments and create new materials.

The goal of the 2017 meeting is to bridge the gap between scientists and engineers focused on fundamentals and those translating fundamental work into new applications. The conference is sure to spark animated discussion, new interactions and fruitful collaborations!

The conference will consist of topical sessions and active poster sessions. Topics include:

• Point of Care Technologies
• Nucleic Acid Analysis and Next Generation Sequencing
• Fields, Forces, and Flows
• Field-Structure Interactions
• Wearable and Implantable Systems
• Cell Mechanics
• Living Systems
• 3D Printing

The event is being chaired by Dino Di Carlo (UCLA, Lab on a Chip Editorial Board member) and Catherine M. Klapperich (Boston University) and vice chaired by Hang Lu (Georgia Institute of Technology, Lab on a Chip Associate Editor) and Cullen R. Buie (MIT).

Invited speakers include Lab on a Chip Advisory Board members Yanyi Huang (Peking University), Tony Huang (Duke University) and Albert Folch (University of Washington).
