As with previous years, the great Australian hospitality will make this a conference to remember, including social and networking activities that are aimed at forging collaboration and exploring ideas though multidisciplinary approaches. But it will be the presentation of research that will again be the star of this conference. All researchers be they from medicine, chemistry or science that work in the nanomedicine field are acutely aware of the great need to prevent and cure diseases which have emotional, social and economic ramifications. We, either working at the bench or at the bedside, acknowledge that the application of nanotechnology into healthcare offers possibilities in the key areas of Target Delivery || Sensing || Diagnostics || Regenerative Medicine || Imaging || Translational Medicine || NanoSafety. These will be the key areas examined at the Conference, and these are the same drivers that will provide great hope to patients. While the timeframe between research to translation can be long, nanomedicine offers opportunities never previously considered.
