We are pleased to invite you to submit abstracts of oral presentations and posters for the 8th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering which will take place at the Sheraton Hotel, Porto, Portugal from February 27th to March 1st 2008. (www.cmbbe2008.cf.ac.uk).
Abstract Submission deadline November 16th, 2007 (early submission is encouraged)
Review and notification of Acceptance by December 5th, 2007
For a full list of suggested topics go to www.cmbbe2008.cf.ac.uk and click on TOPICS
OBJECTIVES
The key objectives of the meeting are to communicate advances in ‘Computer Simulation’ being applied
across the multidisciplinary areas on medical technical and to highlight areas of future potential such as mechanotransduction, mechanobiology, cytoskeletal systems, scaffold architecture, micro/macro/nanobiomechanics, injury/forensic and impact biomechanics, modelling cellular and molecular mechanics, bioreactor simulation, movement science and human body performance which reflect the many advances that are presently taking place in computer based simulation.
PLENARY PRESENTATIONS
Invited lectures presented by distinguished contributors form the core of the meeting and a
list of accepted invited speakers can be found by clicking on ‘Invited Speakers’ on the website.
