Conferences

The IUMRS International Conference in Asia (IUMRS-ICA) is one of the most important serial conferences of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) and is organized by all of the Materials Research Societies in the Asian area. It provides the opportunity for scientists, engineers, and students from not only Asia but around the world to exchange their recent achievements in the field of materials research and development. IUMRS-ICA 2011 organized by MRS-T will cover six fields:

B1. Bio-medical Materials (Materials Science in Regenerative Medicine)
B2. Biocompatible and Biodegradable Materials
B3. Nanotechnology for Bio/Medical Materials
B4. Biosensors and Bio-imaging
B5. Bio-mimetic Materials
B6. Materials for Implant

Symposium B4. Biosensors and Bio-imaging
The recent progress of advanced materials and the relevant techniques benefits the development of biosensors and bio-imaging, ranging from organic to cellular and even molecular levels, to introduce significant impact in biomedical, industry, and military applications. In fact, there appear various types of biosensors and bio-imaging techniques, so that the corresponding researches require interdisciplinary knowledge and trainings in order to address respective needs, such as sensitivity, specificity, real-time diagnosis for biosensors, and super resolution, label-free contrast for bio-imaging.

Symposium Topics:

Nanostructured materials for Bio-sensing and Bio-imaging
Biosensors based on Electrochemistry, Electronics, Mechanics and others.
Optical approaches for Biosensors and Bio-imaging
Non Optical Bio-imaging (Electron Microscopy, SPM, MRI, Ultrasound, Computation)
Plasmonics for Biosensors and Bio-imaging
Bio-sensing Arrays and Clinical Applications
