Abstract :
The 6th IEEE International Conference on Nano/Molecular Medicine and Engineering (IEEE-NANOMED 2012) was held at the Imperial Queen´s Park Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand from November 4-7, 2012. IEEE NANOMED is one of the premier annual events organized by the IEEE Nanotechnology Council to bring together physicians, scientists and engineers in the area of Nano/Molecular Medicine and Engineering. The conference provides a unique forum for highlighting the latest research results in molecular engineering, microfluidics, nanotechnology, system integration, fundamental biology, and translational medicine. This year we have established a series of conference awards and journal special issues for IEEE-NANOMED 2012. The awards include the Best Conference Paper Award, the Best Student Paper Award, and the Best Conference Poster Award. Selected papers presented at IEEE-NANOMED 2012 will be invited to publish in special issues of the peer-reviewed NANOMEDICINE: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine journal (2011 Impact factor: 6.693), Journal of Laboratory Automation (2011 Impact factor: 1.42), Micromachines, and IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine. We hope these awards and journal special issues will encourage the participants to continue their excellent works in Nano/Molecular Medicine and Engineering and promote the IEEE-NANOMED conference.
