This one-day introductory course, delivered in partnership with Cranfield University, is aimed at clinicians, researchers, industry professionals and others who require a broad overview of the new field of nanomedicine and its amazing implications for 21st Century medicine.

"Tomographic imaging provides feedback for improved operation"
Dr D.M. Scott, DuPont

The VCIPT is pleased to present an Introduction to Process Tomography

Monday 25th February 2008 at the University of Manchester.

The UK leads the world in the new field of process tomography, a technology that allows users to see spatial variations in their processes.

The key outputs of process tomography instrumentation are:

more reliable detection of process end points

new process information

With benefits to users through

lower production costs through increased efficiencies and better yields

more efficient process development

The meeting will cover presentations from:

leading industrial users

leading technology suppliers

leading academics in the field

There will also be a number of live demonstrations of process tomography in action and an opportunity to tour the University's pilot tomography facilities after the meeting.

Due to the limitations and costs of animal experimentation there is a great deal of research being carried out on finding viable and effective alternatives. This conference will highlight some of the potential applications in nanotechnology in reducing animal experiments whilst maintaining safety for patients and consumers.

Building on the success of the previous conference this one day event will examine a wide spectrum of new scientific developments taking place in the fight against crime. The latest discoveries and advances will be discussed, from the latest research in nanotechnology and forensics to explosives detection that will revolutionise our security sector.

Building on the success of 'Investing in Medical Nanotechnologies', this annual nanomedicine conference and exhibition will showcase state-of-the-art scientific developments in the healthcare applications of nanotechnology as well as opportunities for investment.

Whether you are a manufacturer or developer of nanoparticles or simply want to know how such new materials will impact your business, this conference will provide you with answers and contact to leading R&D organizations.

The Institute of Nanotechnology is pleased to invite friends and colleagues to a special guest lecture to be given by the renowned chemist, Professor Sir J Fraser Stoddart on "Chemistry and Molecular Nanotechnology for Tomorrow's World".
