OBJECTIVES
Nanobiotechnology as one of todays most fascinating and challenging field of research is a multidisciplinary and fast developing research area with revolutionary innovations in almost any field of science and engineering. The NanoBio-Europe Conference is going to present the most recent international developments in the field of nanobiotechnology and is providing a platform for interdisciplinary communication, new cooperations and projects to participants from science and industry.

KEY ASPECTS / FOCUS
The major focus of the NanoBio-Europe Conference is set on medical applications of nanobiotechnology, in particular the characterization of cellular processes, machinery and interaction to control, manipulate or manufacture molecules or supramolecular assemblies to improve human health.
NanoBio-Europe2008 innovations are expected to bring high added value to biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries - most of these innovations based on multidisciplinary collaborations with experts from life-science, micro- and nanotechnologies, material science, physics and medicine.

FORMAT / SCOPE
After successful conferences in Münster 2005 & 2007 and Grenoble 2006, NanoBio-Europe will be hosted in Barcelona (Spain): June 09-13, 2008. Europe’s leading confrence on nanobiotechnology will offer four days of:

• Invited talks, Keynotes and Orals • Sessions on specific issues • Industrial exhibition • Poster sessions • Mini-Workshops Topics covered • Nanobioanalysis in vitro • Bioelectronics • Bio-water • Nanomaterials for Bio- and Medical Applications • Nanoassemblies / Surfaces • Drug Delivery • Molecular Imaging and Biophotonics • Integrated Systems / Sensors • Far Future Challenges
