"As nanotechnology increasingly intersects with medicine, biotechnology, and engineering, it is critical that the industry leaders stay in close communication with researchers in academia and government," Mr. Weiner explained. "This is a rapidly evolving and highly promising field, and because of its focus on nano-enabled biomedical technologies, Biophan is excited to be a part of this important gathering at RPI RPI - Rockwell Protocol Interface ."

"Enabling biomedical devices to be safe and image-compatible under MRI conditions has been a core mission at Biophan," Mr. Weiner said. "We are using nanotechnologies to advance the capabilities of physicians to use MRI with a much wider range of patients, enabling those with a variety of medical devices to reap the benefits of MRI previously unavailable to them."

The two-day conference is sponsored by RPI in concert with a consortium of leading players in nanobiotechnology science, researchers from government and academia, business and economic development professionals, policy makers, and intellectual property practitioners.
