April 1-3, 2011
Deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday, December 8, 2010
http://www.nyas.org/biomed
Following five successful international conferences, The SUNY Downstate Medical Center, the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, and The New York Academy of Sciences are co-hosting a 3-day conference that aims to examine the ethical issues associated with the development of new treatment modalities, many of which pose new ethical issues and demand the design and improved knowledge of ethical guidelines to be implemented. Biomedical engineers, philosophers, research scientists, lawyers, students, clinicians and representatives from industry and federal agencies will convene to explore ethical guidelines to address the controversial nature of many of the new exciting developments in biomedical engineering.
