Symposium on Cardiovascular Technologies: Devices and Tissue Engineering in Hartford, Connecticut

Bronzino在过去十年中，在“心血管技术”方面取得了重要进展；植入式除颤器、用于血管成形术的新型支架设计以及包括新型人工心脏设计在内的心脏辅助装置。此外，在“组织工程学”方面也取得了突破，有望彻底改变心血管疾病的治疗。这一技术领域非常重要，研讨会和相关的技术博览会旨在为对生物科学和工程感兴趣的实践专业人员和学生提供一个熟悉该领域一些最新发展的机会。主题包括：“人工心脏设计的进展、ABioCor人工心脏计划”、“器官和组织置换的前沿”、“心血管组织工程学”、“胎儿心脏病学”、“介入心脏病学的进展”和“心脏的电测图”。本次研讨会和相关技术博览会的主要目的是：展示在开发新的心血管技术方面正在进行的新的研究和开发工作的洞察力。展示在这些领域中成功的学术/产业合作的例子。为研究人员和企业家提供机会展示与整个生物医学工程领域相关的创新方法和产品。正如将要涵盖的主题所示，研讨会的学术价值很高，并将对该地区的生物科学和生物医学工程界产生重大影响。通过出版会议记录，对学生和专业人员的有益影响将扩大到国家一级。相关的技术博览会为学生和专业人士提供了一个与目前从事技术开发过程的人讨论创新过程的机会。

0240854BronzinoImportant advances in "Cardiovascular Technologies" occurred during the past decade; implantable defibrillators, new stent designs for angioplasty, and heart assist devices including new artificial heart designs. Additionally, there have been breakthroughs in "tissue engineering" that are expected to revolutionize the treatment of cardiovascular disease. This area of technology is important with the Symposium and the associated Technology Fair being designed to provide practicing professionals and students interested in bioscience and engineering an opportunity to become familiar with some of the latest developments in the field. The topics to be covered include: "Advances in the Design of the Artificial Heart, the ABIOCOR Artificial Heart Program", "Frontiers of Organ and Tissue Replacement", "Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering", "Fetal Cardiology", "Advances in Interventional Cardiology", and "Electrical Mapping of the Heart". The primary objectives of this Symposium and the Associated Technology Fair are: Present insights into the new research and development efforts underway on developing new cardiovascular technologies.Present examples of successful academic/industrial collaborations in these areas.Provide the opportunity for researchers and entrepreneurs to present innovative approaches and products related to the entire field of biomedical engineering.As illustrated by the topics to be covered, the intellectual merit of the Symposium is high and will have significant impact on the bioscience and biomedical engineering community in the region. Through the publication of the Proceedings a beneficial impact on students and professionals will extend to the national level. The associated Technology Fair provides an opportunity for both students and professionals to discuss the process of innovation with those currently engaged in the technology development process.
