Hello,
I would like to call the attention of folks out there to the following
quasi-new venture:
The 14th Annual meeting of the Society for Physical Regulation in
Biology and Medicine will be held Oct. 13-16 at the Hyatt Regency in
Crystal City, near Washington DC. The SPRBM (formerly, the Bioelectrical
Repair and Growth Soc.) has a scope which centers on the interaction of
mechanical, electrical, magnetic, ultrasound, and other physical stimuli in
biological systems. Both clinical applications and basic cellular mechanisms
are hot topics.
This year's conference, for example, includes a special symposium on
physical regulation and osteoporosis (co-sponsored by the National
Osteoporosis Foundation). The aim is to bring new physical/mechanical
approaches to this important medical problem.
SPRBM is a SINGLE SESSION meeting, involving clinician, engineers,
physicists, biologists sharing their findings via talks, posters and extremely
lively discussions in which all attendees can be involved.
If this interests you, please contact the address below for more info,
program or registration details (or holler back to me at:
Spadaroj at vax.cs.hscsyr.edu) for other questions or assistance.
