“Nanomedicine: Visions for the Future” is a two day conference. The growth of knowledge across all sciences, underpinned by equally rapid development in a range of enabling technologies such as nanotechnology, informatics and materials technologies, means that we are currently approaching a crossroads in medicine where medical practice will begin to focus much more on adapting innovative new treatments to the clinical needs of the individual patient, based both on the specific nature of their disease and their individual genomic and metabolomic profile.

The 8th International Conference and Workshop on Biological Barriers 2010 is committed to the pulsating questions in the triangle of in vitro tools, nanotoxicology, and nanomedicine. Due to the increasing need to investigate the safety and potential risks of new nanomaterials a new area of science - nanotoxicology - is currently emerging. Although the expected answers might be different, nanotoxicology in many cases asks similar questions as nanomedicine and the same in vitro tools of biological barriers are obviously most relevant. Substantial part of the programme will therefore be dedicated to this topic and addressed by well known international experts, making the conference and workshops most interesting to pharmaceutical scientists, material scientists, biologists, and toxicologists.
