The conference seeks papers (IEEE short paper format—2 pages max) from industrial, clinical, or university researchers, scientists, engineers, and students.

Authors may consider the following list of categories, although any paper germane to biomedical engineering will be considered:

* Cell-Material Interactions
* Smart Biomaterials
* Nanomaterials
* Tissue Engineering
* Solid Biomechanics
* Fluid Biomechanics
* Imaging Modalities for Tissue Engineered Systems
* Diagnostic Imaging Techniques
* Clinical Biomedical Imaging
* Image Processing and Analysis
* Neural Imaging and Signal Analysis
* Optical Imaging

The conference will be held on the campus of Columbia University in New York, NY. The conference will include plenary speakers, oral presentations, poster presentations, a student paper competition and a social event.

In recent years this conference has grown substantially and promises to be a great opportunity for professional development, networking, and exploring the world of biomedical engineering.
