2nd. International Conference on Biomedical Technology, Hannover - Oct. 28-30, 2015

Current challenges in medicine and engineering are related to the application of computational methods to clinical medicine and the study of biological systems at different scales. Based on the tremendous advances in medical imaging and high-performance computing, engineering is able to help in medical decision processes or implant designs. Thus, the complex development of innovative degradable and non-degradable implants can only be addressed by a multidisciplinary approach of physicians, natural scientis, and engineers from a wide range of specialisation.

This conference will bring together scientist from different areas of medicine, engineering and natural scienes. It will focus on function, production, initialization and complications of different types or implants and related topics.

The scope of the conference is

• degradable and non-degradable implants
• synthetic and biological hybrid implants
• implant design
• tissue-implant interfaces
• fatigue and fracture of bone implants
• implant related infections
• models of tissues
• models of biological systems 

The conference is one of the Thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS).
