Applications for this meeting must be submitted by May 8, 2011. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Applications will still be accepted for oversubscribed meetings. However, they will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.
Participants at the 2011 Gordon Conference on Environmental Nanotechnology will present and discuss cutting edge research on chemical, biological and environmental impacts of engineered nanomaterials. The conference will feature a wide range of topics, including; synthesis, characterization, exposure, toxicology, metrology, and risk assessment. In addition, the basic mechanisms by which nanoscale materials interact with similar sized particles, larger particles, as well as mixtures will be thoroughly examined. Transport, transformation and ultimate fate of these materials in biological and environmental matrices will be explored.
This Conference will bring together prominent investigators who are at the forefront of their research fields and will provide unique opportunities for early career investigators, postdoctoral and graduate students to present their work in poster formats. Invited speakers will include those engaged in research at the intersection of nanotechnology and the environment - materials scientists, engineers, biologists, toxicologists, physicists, chemists and environmental scientists. In addition, competitive posters will be selected for short oral presentations. The interdisciplinary atmosphere of this conference will generate and inspire research that will fundamentally alter the impacts of engineered nanomaterials on human health and the environment.
A list of preliminary session topics and speakers is currently being developed by the Conference Chair and will be available by December 1, 2010. Please check back for updates.
