The 2018 Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium will be hosted in Portland, Oregon. The objectives of this symposium are to highlight new groundbreaking discoveries and developments in nanomedicine and drug delivery.  Revolutionary advances in this area require collaboration amongst researchers working in a diverse array of fields including nanotechnology, materials science, imaging, cell biology, tissue engineering, gene editing, drug and gene delivery as well as clinical research.

The symposium will take place at the Collaborative Life Science Building (CLSB), a next-generation health and science education and research facility that combines the resources and brainpower of three Oregon universities under one roof – Oregon State University (OSU), Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Portland State University (PSU).

The full list of speakers is available on the conference website – https://www.nanodds2018.org/speakers/ 

NanoTox 2018 – 9th International Conference on Nanotoxicology will take place this year between 18th-21st September 2018 at Dorint-Hotel Neuss, Germany. 

The special focus of NanoTox 2018 will be “New tools in risk assessment of nanomaterials” such as read-across, grouping and categorization. This event will offer a platform for all interested scientists, industry partners and regulatory bodies to discuss the latest results and developments in nanosafety research.

The full list of plenary speakers is available on the conference website including the portal to submit posters and register before the deadline below.
