Sensors and Actuators for Biomedical Applications
Michael Swann Building, The University of Edinburgh
20th May, 2009
|
This meeting has been organised by the Centre for Biomedical
Engineering at Edinburgh (CBEE) in
conjunction with the Division of Pathway Medicine (DoPM) and
the Joint Research Institute for Integrated
Systems (IIS) (part
of the Edinburgh Research Partnership in Engineering and
Mathematics). It will explore the wide range of activities in
microsystems engineering for biomedical related applications
being undertaken by members of the CBEE and the IIS and their
various collaborators at the Universities of Edinburgh and
Heriot Watt.
