Greetings,
I hope that by now you have received an announcement from the Program
Chairperson (Dr. H. Benghuzzi) of the 34th annual RMBS meeting (April
11-13, 1997) in Dayton, Ohio.
The RMBS was formed 33 years ago to address the application of
engineering principles to biology and medicine. The conference draws
international as well as national investigators. The organization was
originally comprised of educators, physicians, entrepreneurs,
scientists and engineers from the Rocky Mountain area. It has grown
to become a regional symposium which extends as far east as
Pennsylvania, north to the Dakotas, south to Texas and west to Utah.
The Board of Directors would like to extend it even farther to include
Canada, and the eastern United States. The RMBS is also honored to
have active board members from the United Kingdom and Germany.
This year, Dr. Benghuzzi and I have brought the conference to Dayton,
hoping to extend participation in the mid-west. The Board of
Directors decided to hold the annual meeting outside the Rocky
Mountain area every other year. Thus, active participation by you,
your group and particularly your students, is very important. To
encourage student involvement, the registration fee for students is a
nominal $40.00 (including the Proceedings), and several well-known
scientists have been invited to give plenary talks.
Several people have contacted us to say that because of holiday
commitments, they found it difficult to submit their abstracts by the
December 1 deadline. We therefore are extending the deadline for
submission of abstracts to December 8, 1996. You can send the
abstracts to me or Dr. Benghuzzi. I hope to see you, your colleagues
and students at the meetings (Holiday Inn) and the banquet in the
modern hanger of the Air Force Museum in April.
Sincerely yours,
P. K. Bajpai, Ph.D
Conference Chair
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE
34th Annual Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium
April 11-13, 1997
Dayton, Ohio 45469
The RMBS has been held annually since 1964. Initially at sites in and
around Rocky Mountain area, the conference has grown to become a
regional symposium with meeting sites throughout the entire Midwest.
Although considered to be a regional conference, contributions and
attendees come from all parts of the United States, Canada and the
world. Attendance and professional program paper presentation by
individuals from areas outside of the Midwest are encouraged and
welcomed. Accepted papers are published in a nationally distributed
Conference Proceedings through the Instrument Society of America
(ISA), which will be available at the meeting. Those interested in
organizing sessions, or company exhibitions, please contact the
Conference Chair, Dr. Praphulla K. Bajpai, Department of Biology,
University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio 45469-2320, E-Mail
