Wiley-VCH, the publisher of Small and Advanced Healthcare Materials, is celebrating Small's 10th anniversary with a special session on Nanotechnology Toward Advanced Healthcare Materials at Korea's leading and largest symposium on nanotechnology on July 4. Small is among the stable of Wiley's highly-regarded Advanced Materials range of publications. Professor Taeghwan Hyeon from Seoul National University sits on the board of Small.
The symposium - the International Nanotech Symposium & Nano-Convergence Expo, NANO Korea 2014 - is expected to draw top researchers and academics from around the world. The ascendency of nanotechnology has been bolstered by the wave of innovations it has brought about for society. It has impacted fields ranging from energy to healthcare. Indeed, one of the greatest areas of development has been in biomaterials, including tissue engineering, delivery systems and implantable devices. The focus of the session is the application of Nanotechnology Toward Advanced Healthcare Materials, which will include fundamental and applied studies covering top materials science research in medicine and biotechnology.
The speakers in this session represent a cast of leading researchers working on advanced healthcare materials, and come from Korea and all across the globe. By bringing together these top international researchers at NANO Korea, this session will highlight cutting-edge research in the field and create new opportunities for translational science.
Dr Jose Oliveira, Editor-in-Chief, Small and Advanced Healthcare Materials, is Co-Chair of the session. He will be joined by a panel of distinguished co-organisers – Prof. Nam-Joon Cho, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (Co-Chair); Prof. Dong June Ahn, Korea University, South Korea; and Prof. Dong Soo Lee, Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea (President, Korean Society for Nanomedicine).
