The conference will feature symposia addressing advances in nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnology, biosensing, nano-diagnostics, nanoimaging, and other innovative areas of research and their applications in medicine, and pharmacy, especially as it applies to the current pandemic and such pandemics in the future. It will also provide opportunities to network with researchers from other academic institutions and the broader nanotechnology and nano pharma industry. This year the conference will host a poster session for all to submit abstracts and present their current research.

The goals are:

• Promote collaborative and interdisciplinary research,

• Help to create multidisciplinary education and research projects including novel approaches for translational research,

• Host presentations by experts in creating international collaborations, start-ups for nanotech business, production scale-up, and

• Provide new insights into nanomedicine applications for nanoscientists, clinicians and engineers in the areas of drug delivery, diagnostic testing for the pandemic and related diseases.
