Describes the above-named upcoming conference event. May include topics to be covered or calls for papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper summarizes the discussions held during the First IEEE Life Sciences Grand Challenges Conference, held on October 4–5, 2012, at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, and the grand challenges identified by the conference participants. Despite tremendous efforts to develop the knowledge and ability that are essential in addressing biomedical and health problems using engineering methodologies, the optimization of this approach toward engineering the life sciences and healthcare remains a grand challenge. The conference was aimed at high-level discussions by participants representing various sectors, including academia, government, and industry. Grand challenges were identified by the conference participants in five areas including engineering the brain and nervous system; engineering the cardiovascular system; engineering of cancer diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention; translation of discoveries to clinical applications; and education and training. A number of these challenges are identified and summarized in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Highlights two conferences in June 2004 that focused on biomedical engineering education. Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education's Biomedical Engineering Division; Partnership for Educational Bioengineering Laboratories; Contact information.

The article presents a summary of the highlights of the spring meeting of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) Administrative Committee which was held in Seattle, Washington in April 2007. Several locations for future EMBS Annual Conferences include Lyon, France in 2007 and Vancouver, British Columbia in 2008. The EMBS will add two committees, namely bionanotechnology and biomedical informatics.
