Biomedical
This track focuses on the translation of new applications from the bench-top to the bedside and on advanced engineering and applied studies. Topics may include clinical studies that demonstrate accuracy of a diagnostic or therapeutic modality, clinical demonstration and validation of bio-photonic devices, and large-scale trials of biosensors.
Postdeadline paper submissions are being accepted. Submit timely, innovative research by March 30, 2012 at 12:00 PM noon EDT (16:00 GMT).
