Thereโs still time โ barely โ to plan to attend next weekโs 1st Annual Unither Nanomedical & Telemedical Technology Conference in Quebec. Co-chair is Martine Rothblatt, PhD, of Unither Biotech. Speakers include these names familar to Foresight members, as well as many nearer-term topics:
Tad Hogg, PhD โ Member of the Research Staff: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, โCoordinating Microscopic Robots for Medical Applicationsโ
Ralph C. Merkle, PhD โ Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, โDiamond Mechanosynthesis as a Pathway to Medical Nanorobotsโ
Keynote: Ray Kurzweil โ Founder, Chairman & CEO: Kurzweil Technologies, Inc. โThe Coming Merger of Human and Machine: The Radical Expansion of Human Longevity and Intelligenceโ
Tihamer Toth-Fejel โ Senior Research Engineer: General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, โFrom Artificial Kidneys to Respirocytes: DNA Assembling Silsesquioxane Nanocubes for Medical Useโ
Christopher Phoenix โ Co-founder (on sabbatical): Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, โDesigning and Controlling Medical Nanorobotsโ
Good to see some new names here also (new to us, that is), e.g., Selmer Bringsjord and Renata Bushko. Wish I could be there to hear their talks.
The nearer-term speakers and attendees at this meeting will be getting a good dose of vision! Credit goes to Martine for organizing the event. โChristine
