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. Below you will find a full range of in-depth programming covering this area.
