The ASME 2013 2nd Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB2013) will be held February 4-6, 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts. The 2013 Congress will focus on the integration of engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology in addressing fundamental problems in biology and medicine and in developing devices, materials and methods for the early detection, imaging of pathological and physiological mechanisms, and treatment of disease.

Technical contributions will consist of oral and poster presentations, including plenary and invited keynote talks. Additional contributions will be presented by members of the engineering community, scientists, clinicians, students and experts from industry and will be focused on the development of new tools, methods and materials impacting biomedicine and life sciences, including nanomedicine and biologically inspired materials and technology.

NEMB2013 will focus on:
• Bioengineering for Medical Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Imaging
• Nano-/Microfluidics in Biology and Medicine: Analysis, Diagnostics and Therapeutics
• Nanoengineering for Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering
• Manufacturing and Materials for Nanomedicine, Biology and Nanoengineering
• Multiscale Modeling and Experiment in Biology and Medicine
• Biological Nanomechanics: Materials Factors in Physiology, Disease and Treatment
• Natural, Biomimetic and Bioinspired Materials and Structures
• Nanotechnology and Public Health

Tutorials on emerging topics of Nanoengineering for Medicine & Biology will be offered
