BNN’s focus session “Nanotechnologies for Safe & Sustainable Biomedical Applications” @BMT2022

The Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian, German and Swiss Societies for Biomedical Engineering took place at the Congress Innsbruck in Innsbruck (Austria) from 28 Sep 2022 to 30 Sep 2022.

The biomedical engineering community came together again in the heart of the Alps. Innsbruck with its unique combination of urban flair and impressive mountain scenery provided an inspiring atmosphere to meet colleagues and friends, exchange scientific ideas, discuss current trends, initiate new research and make new contacts.

BNN had the focus session “Nanotechnologies for Safe & Sustainable Biomedical Applications”:

Chairs:

• Andreas Falk, BNN, AT
• Susanne Resch, BNN, AT
• Clemens Wolf, BNN, AT

Abstract:

Bio- and nanotechnologies, key technologies of the 21st century, are used in many areas. The use of nanotechnology in the medical field paves the way for completely new applications, by offering for example improved methods for imaging techniques and diagnostic tools. Nanomedicine/pharmaceutics and microfluidics for biomedical applications have the potential to improve current therapies and diagnostics as well as regenerative medicine approaches, and become future-proof by following and adopting Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) strategies for chemicals used in the healthcare sector.
