Biomedical Instrumentation Based On Micro And Nanotechnology

Biomedical Instrumentation Based on Micro- and Nanotechnology

5th International Conference on Nanotechnologies and Biomedical Engineering

This book gathers the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Nanotechnologies and Biomedical Engineering, held online on November 3–5, 2021, from Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. It covers fundamental and applied research at the interface between nanotechnologies and biomedical engineering. Chapters report on cutting-edge bio-micro/nanotechnologies, devices for biomedical applications, and advances in bio-imaging and biomedical signal processing, innovative nano-biomaterials as well as advances in e-health, medical robotics, and related topics. With a good balance of theory and practice, the book offers a timely snapshot of multidisciplinary research at the interface between physics, chemistry, biomedicine, materials science, and engineering.

Future Medical Engineering Based on Bionanotechnology

Combining engineering and medicine research projects with biological applications, the contributions in this volume constitute the efforts of both distinguished scientists and young investigators in various fields of biomedical engineering at Tohoku University, one of Japan''s leading scientific research universities. The Tohoku University 21st Century COE Program OC Future Medical Engineering Based on BionanotechnologyOCO is OCo out of 113 programmes chosen by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2002 OCo the only one program devoted to biomedical engineering. This book comprises the proceedings of the final closing symposium to be held in January 2007, and summarizes all the efforts of the program in a comprehensive manner. In total, more than 100 authors from the engineering and medical schools of Tohoku University have contributed to this volume, through which readers can understand all the research results carried out under the umbrella of the program.
