“Advances in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics”会议将于2009年1月5-7日在香港科技大学召开。

    Advances in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international and interdisciplinary conference with special focus on research activities in the Pacific Rim. It will be held at the beautiful campus of HKUST (http://www.ust.hk/eng/index.htm) by the bay.

    The last decade has seen exponential growths in microfluidic and nanofluidic research in Asia, driven by robust funding with expectation that it will spur a large Asian biotechnology industry.

      The intent of this conference is to bring researchers of different disciplines and nationalities together, which is necessary for the Asian community to advance to the next level. It is also an opportunity to expose Asian research achievements to leaders in the field and for Asian students to interact with them. Biomicrofluidics (http://bmf.aip.org), an American Institute of Physics journal, will be the affiliated journal to facilitate the missions of this conference, and subsequent follow-up conferences.

     The invited speakers are leading microfluidics and nanofluidics researchers in Physics, Chemistry and the various engineering disciplines. It is the hope of the organization committee that this will be the first of a regular Pacific Rim conference on the topics.

         We cordially invite you to join the conference and look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong from January 5th to 7th,  2009.
