This symposium is suitable for scientists, technicians and engineers who would like to learn more about advances in micro/nano biotechnologies and its applications in the area of life sciences. The symposium will also provide an opportunity for researchers who already have experience with microfluidic devices but who would like to update or broaden their knowledge on recent developments in bio-applications.

Description
Macroeconomic and regulatory aspects in the commercialization of new diagnostics products based on new technology trends are becoming more and more urgent topics in the invention and development of new products. Microfluidics, micro/nano biotechnologies, and single-molecule technologies (“Digital Biology”) have transformed research and the product landscape in the biomedical arena in the past years. The impact of these enabling technologies will make it essential to adapt current strategies to meet future demands. Most important is the alignment of device function & performance with its cost structure. This course will bring attendees up to date on aspects of product development, commercialization and cost structure in the conversion of cutting-edge technologies into commercial products.
