22 – 24 September 2008
Chemistry in the New World of Bioengineering and Synthetic Biology
in Oxford, UK
The conference organised by the Royal Society of
Chemistry aims to play a leading role in bringing
together the various communities that will drive
forward tomorrow’s bioscience research. For full

Nanotechnology in Medicine and Biotechnology - Achievements, Applications and Future Needs
IMechE, London
Nanotechnology will revolutionise healthcare. This
exciting new engineering field is defined by the
exploitation of novel properties and phenomena of
technology developed at the nano scale. The impact
of nanotechnology will be demonstrated through
presentations covering novel drug synthesis and
delivery, cell surgery and therapy, disease
diagnosis and prevention, biosensors and medical
implants. By drawing together key workers from
industry, academia and clinical practice, this event
will work as a catalyst to develop both research
projects and commercial ideas of nanotechnology in
medical applications.

Bearing Surfaces in Hip Joint Replacement
IMechE, London
The number of joint replacements has grown
dramatically over the past decade. With an
increasing and ageing population, this is likely to
continue. This one-day event will focus on the
mechanical and material considerations of the
bearing surfaces used in hip joint replacement. The
changes in these surfaces have a substantial effect
on the long-term survival of the implants − this is
clearly of major clinical importance. This symposium
will look at the development, testing and use of
present and future bearing surfaces, and also the
influence of the bearing surface on the design of
hip joint replacements.
