> The Nanotechnology in Medicine and Drug Discovery Symposium will 
> showcase state-of-the-art nanotechnology research and applications to 
> drug discovery. Nanotechnology has a variety of definitions but is 
> most often described as the design, characterization and application 
> of nanoscale structures, devices and systems. In the past, medical 
> applications have predominantly been in the area of drug delivery. 
> With novel technologies emerging, the speakers, drawn from leading 
> institutions around the world, will discuss new developments in the 
> context of medicine and drug discovery including diagnostic devices, 
> research tools that could be applied to drug discovery, safety issues 
> and biomimetics. The symposium will also address the future of 
> nanotechnology and its impact on curing disease.
