A Focus on Nanobiology
The Conference is a combination of keynotes, panels, posters, program information sessions, discussions of research trends, and principal investigator meetings with NSF program directors.
The presentations will cover research trends, foundational breakthroughs with broad relevance, overviews of progress and new research, education, and innovation areas with a focus on nanobiology, nanobiomanufacturing, nanobiomedicine, and nano-neurology. Keynote presentations are followed by discussion panels.
- Day 1: Nanobiotechnology and Nanobiomanufacturing
Nanoscale science and engineering at NSF, Quantum biology and quantum sensing, Synthetic biology, Nanobio architecture, Cell based nanomanufacturing, and Distributed nanomanufacturing systems. - Day 2: Nanobiomedicine and Nano-neurology
Regenerative medicine, Targeted drug delivery, Neuro processes at the nanoscale, Nanoscale phenomena in plant and agricultural systems, Education and infrastructure for nanobio world. Poster sessions with a focus on research and education projects, centers, and partnerships will be held on both days. The conference site is Westin Alexandria Hotel near the NSF building. - Live stream of the conference will be available during the event.
