BioMED 2008 will take place from February 13
– 15, 2008.
|
|
Location
|
Innsbruck, Austria, is nestled in the valley
of the Inn River and tucked between the Austrian Alps and the
Tuxer mountain range. Climb the Stadtturm on Herzog Friedrich
Strasse for a stunning view of the town and its surrounding
scenery. Attend a concert at the beautiful renaissance-style
Ambras Castle. The sturdy medieval houses and sidewalk cafés
of Old Town Innsbruck beckon you to sit a while and watch
people stroll by.
Congress
Innsbruck traces its beginnings to medieval Europe and The
Dogana, a historic theatre. Congress Innsbruck has been thrice
awarded "Apex Congress Centre of the Year."

Biomedical Engineering (BioMED
2008)
|
|
In recent years, with the aid of engineering
and information technology, biomedical engineering has emerged
as a high-tech field, generating innovation in such areas as
medical imaging, bioinformatics, MEMS and nanotechnology, new
biomaterials and sensors, medical robotics, and neurobiology.
Scientists and engineers in this field have recently been
working towards such advances as developing artificial organs
that mimic natural human organs, conducting telemedicine,
performing surgeries with robots, creating a
laboratory-on-a-chip, and controlling robots through natural
animal brain matter. |
BioMED 2008 will be
held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences

Technologies
for Assessing Activities of Daily Living (TA-ADL) will be
presented by Dr. Bart Jansen and Dr. Ir. Rudi
Deklerck. Dr. Bart Jansen has worked in the
IRIS group – a subgroup of the Department of Electronics and
Information Processing (ETRO) at VUB – as a postdoctoral
researcher since 2006. His interests include computer vision
and robot imitation. Dr. Ir. Rudi Deklerck is a
post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Electronics and
Information Processing (ETRO). His research is mainly situated
in the domain of medical image processing, focusing on 2D and
3D modeling and visualization.
"Advances in Medical Decision Support Systems"
will be presented by Dr. Elif Derya Übeyli
. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, TOBB University of Economics and Technology. She has worked on variety of topics including biomedical signal processing, neural networks, optimization, and artificial intelligence. | |
