The Organising Committee of Bioengineering09, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, are very pleased to invite you to participate in Bioengineering09, the second conference and exhibition of the Society of Bioengineering.

The meeting is to be held on September 24th-25th 2009 in Oxford, in Keble College. Each day will open with an internationally renowned plenary speaker. For the rest of the time, the meeting will split into parallel themes. In these sessions, important and topical aspects of bioengineering will be explored in detail. A combination of keynote lectures, invited talks and presentations selected from submitted abstracts will form these parallel sessions. The agenda will be supplemented with a posters competition, an industrial exhibition and a new bioengineering faculty event.

The meeting will emphasise exciting research advances, explore future challenges and accentuate the importance of interdisciplinary problem-solving. We welcome all researchers interested in cross-disciplinary research who work on biologically and clinically inspired problems. Delegates and speakers will come from bioengineering and biomedical engineering departments, physical science departments, engineering departments and clinical faculties. We are particularly keen to encourage the participation of students and young researchers. Special provisions will be made to enable such involvement.

If you know of colleagues who may be interested in this event, it would be great if you could forward this email to them. Registration and abstract submission will open in a few days.

We look forward to welcoming you in Oxford in September.

On behalf of the Organising Committee,

Yiannis Ventikos
Conference Chair of Bioengineering09
