    HSEMB
    2005

    The Houston Society for Engineering in Medicine and Biology (HSEMB)
    announces its 22nd Annual Houston Conference on Biomedical Engineering
    Research http://www.hsemb.org/ which will be held on 10-11 February,
    2005 at the University Hilton Hotel, on the University of Houston
    Campus. This city-based conference is unique in North America. It brings
    together engineers, physicians, medical researchers, practitioners,
    educators, and students from the many institutions and companies located
    in Texas and Louisiana interested in discussing research and engineering
    topics associated with the application of science and technology to
    biology and medicine. The scope of the Conference Technical Program
    ranges from nanotechnology to space medicine, and from molecular and
    cellular engineering to robotics, and mechanical hearts and lungs. Many
    of oral platform sessions include presentations by physicians, medical
    researchers and engineers working in medical centers and biomedical
    companies. The Conference features a seated luncheon each day, a talk
    of general interest by a well-recognized luncheon speaker, and
    Professional Awards presentations by HSEMB. A Young Investigator Award
    of $1000 is sponsored by Millar Instruments, Inc. of Houston, the J.A.
    Halter Award in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is sponsored by
    HSEMB ($500), and an Annual Student Poster Paper Competition is held
    with a $200 prize awarded by HSEMB and sponsored by the Orthopaedic
    Research Society for the Best Poster. There are also evening receptions
    and social activities for registrants and their guests.
