Nanomedicine Webinar Series Designed for Medical, Industry and Reserach Communities

San Diego, CA | Posted on April 21st, 2010

NanoTecNexus (NTN), formerly NanoBioNexus, already acclaimed for its educational forums and nanobiotechnology expertise, announces the second installment of courses, seminars, and lectures to be delivered online with proven and easy to use webinar tools. Delivering online webinars is part of NTN's strategy to reach broad geographically dispersed communities, leverage scientific, medical, and business experts worldwide, and deliver the highest caliber content in a cost-effective manner.

Nanomedicine 2: New Strategies and Innovations to Understand, Treat and Monitor Disease is a continuation of the highly successful Nanomedicine 1 webinar series, a first of its kind Continuing Medical Education (CME) accredited webinar series sponsored by the UC San Diego School of Medicine and produced in partnership with the UC San Diego NanoTumor Center (NTC). The first of six Nanomedicine 2 sessions is scheduled for Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at 8:00AM Pacific. Brochure and details here.

The NanoTumor Center, a public-private consortium funded by the National Cancer Institute Alliance for Nanotechnology and led by UC San Diego, is dedicated to the translational application of nanotechnology in the fight against cancer. NanoTecNexus, a member of this consortium and lead for the NTC educational projects, led the planning committee in the design and organization of the webinar series to meet the accreditation standards and requirements.

"Education in the new field of cancer nanotechnology for the scientific and clinical communities as well as the general public is an integral part of our center," said NTC Director Sadik Esener, PhD, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering.
The Nanomedicine 2 webinar series also follows a Business and Technology Series designed for the research, industry, and investment communities worldwide as well as the general public interested in learning about progress made in nanotechnology development. The goal is to educate on the translational progress of applications using nanotechnology. "We are committed to fill an important void and place the attention on real progress, not just promise or hype," said Adriana Vela, Founder and CEO of NanoTecNexus. "I am proud to say that, since our inception, we have not wavered from delivering quality content with top expert presenters."
