2012 2nd International Conference on Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics – ICBBB 2012. ICBBB 2012 will be held during March 10-11, 2012 in Chennai, India. ICBBB 2012, is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics to a common forum.
The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics. Another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in India and abroad. The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics and related areas. All ICBBB 2012 papers will be published in proceedings by IACSIT Press and All the presented papers will be archived in theEngineering and Technology Digital Libraryand Indexed by ISI,EBSCO and CNKI(????).
Tissue Engineering is “an interdisciplinary field that incorporates and applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue organ or function” (R. Langer, Science,
260:920-926, 1993)
It can also be explained as “the development and manipulation of laboratory grown molecules, cells, tissues, or organs to replace or support the function of defective or injured body parts” (Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative)
Why Tissue Engineering?
Why we needed Tissue Engineering, Why other Fields were not Good enough?
NIT, Rourkela invites applications from Indian nationals possessing excellent academic background along with commitment to quality teaching and potential for carrying out relevant research for faculty positions at the level of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor.
If you are on dialysis like approximately 400,000 other Americans, then your life could change for the better in the next couple of years thanks to some new biomedical engineering.
The technology, announced this week at an American Heart Association conference on emerging technology, enables engineers to grow sheets of human cells in a laboratory, and then synthesize them into tubes, mimicking human blood vessels. Alternatively, the human cells, which come from skin cells, can be made into threads and then woven into the form of blood vessels.
