"Challenges & Opportunities: The Future of Nano & Bio Technologies" is our interdisciplinary conference on the development of molecular manufacturing and its relationship to emerging biotechnologies. We've assembled a great lineup of speakers and will offer some exciting surprises, including interactive sessions unlike any you've seen before. In addition, this will be your opportunity for a SNEAK PREVIEW of the nanotechnology scenarios created by CRN's Global Task Force.
The conference will feature a distinguished roster of speakers from leading biotech and nanotech organizations and universities. Presenters will discuss both technical details and the larger meaning of their work, and attendees will have multiple opportunities for open dialog with the speakers.
Day one of the conference (Mon, Sept 10) will focus on biotechnology, including both the underlying science and key applications. Day two (Tue, Sept 11) will focus on nanotechnology, with an emphasis on the path to molecular manufacturing. Day three (Wed, Sept 12) will look at the societal and environmental implications of nano/bio manufacturing. The fourth day will offer assisted tours of Tucson area biotech and nanotech facilities.
At this conference, CRN will make available for review and debate a series of future scenarios created by our Global Task Force on Implications and Policy. More than 50 people from six continents, with a range of backgrounds and points of view, collaborated to develop several professional-quality models of a world in which molecular manufacturing becomes a reality. This will be the first public opportunity for assessing and responding to those scenarios.
We hope to see you there!
