The 6th WACBE World Congress on Bioengineering
The 6th WACBE World Congress on Bioengineering was successfully held in Beihang University, Beijing, China, on August 5-8, 2013. The congress covered a wide variety of areas in bioengineering including biomechanics, biomaterial, rehabilitation, tissue engineering, biomolecular engineering, biomedical image, biosensor, etc., and offered an interdisciplinary platform for bioengineers to share and exchange experiences, suggestions and opinions. Over 400 participants around the world gathered in Beihang University for 4 days of scientific communication. The congress received 327 abstracts, and organized 18 oral sessions and 11 poster sessions, and two special forums. Prof. Shu Chien (University of California San Diego), Prof. Savio Woo (University of Pittsburgh), Prof. Chien Ho (Carnegie Mellon University), Prof. Kam Leong (Duke University), and Prof. Depei Liu (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) gave plenary speeches. There were 38 experts invited to give 20 invited keynote and 18 session keynote speeches in the congress. In the congress, three people won Savio & Pattie Woo Travelling Fellowship, and six people won Young Investigator Awards.
ACRP Annual Research Symposium 2013
