Advances in Microfluidics & Nanofluidics (AMN) 2013 is the fourth AMN conference after successful meetings previously held in Hong Kong (2009), Singapore (2011) and Dalian, China (2012). The aim of the conference is to provide a forum to promote scientific exchange and to foster closer networks and collaborative ties between leading international micro/nanofluidics researchers across various disciplines from engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, material science and biotechnology.

The scope of AMN 2013 is deliberately broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing the latest advances and the most innovative developments in micro/nanoscale science and technology. Topics range from fundamental research to its applications in chemistry, physics, biology, materials and medicine.

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are solicited across broad themes centered around fundamentals and applications of micro/nanofluidic science and technology. These include, but are not limited to

Fundamentals in microfluidics and nanofluidics
Novel fluid and transport phenomena at microscale and nanoscale dimensions
Microscale and nanoscale fluid actuation and particle manipulation mechanisms
Chemical and biological sensing techniques
Gene, protein and cell analysis and manipulation
Chemical and biochemical synthesis
Biosensors for biochemical and pathogen detection
Point-of-care diagnostics
Drug screening and drug delivery
Biomaterials synthesis and tissue engineering
Microfuel cells and other energy/environmental applications
Micro/nanofabrication methods and chip-scale integration
