SEBM Symposium at EB 2007
Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine in
SEBM's Second Century
Date: Sunday, April 29 — 3:15-5:15 PM
Location: Washington, DC Convention Center — Room 147B
SEBM gratefully acknowledges Genentech for their donation in
support of this symposium.
Chairs: Burton E. Sobel, University of Vermont and Charles A.
Blake,
University of South Carolina
This symposium will address the promise of nanotechnology in
biology
and medicine with respect to three general areas including: 1) the
promise of nanotechnology in prevention of disease; 2) the promise of
nanotechnology in improved diagnosis; and 3) the promise of
nanotechnology in enhanced therapy. Speakers will focus on specific
approaches taken and illustrate them with descriptions of specific
applications of nanotechnology. Examples include: 1) elucidation of
biological structures in the 5-500 nm size range and their role in
determining function particularly with respect to electron transport
and biological oxidations (Dr. S. Sliger); 2) engineered viruses for
biomedical science with consideration of their potential role in drug
delivery (Dr. M.G. Finn); and 3) applications of nanotechnology in
cardiovascular surgery with emphasis on modulation of the systemic
inflammatory response syndrome (Dr. T. Gourlay). Dr. Steven Goodman,
editor of Experimental Biology and Medicine, will present some thoughts
regarding the journal’s emphasis on the nanotechnology, informatics,
integrated and multidisciplinary research in the Society for
Experimental Biology and Medicine’s second century.
