Brain-implantable computers, body area networks, carbon nanotube-based therapies and drug delivery, DNA-based detectors of disease, intelligent implants, nanoelectronics for biomolecular detection, and direct brain-machine interfaces are among the state-of-the-art technologies to be explored in the 2nd Annual Unither Nanomedical & Telemedical Technology Conference, Feb. 24-27 in Orford, Quebec, Canada.

Keynoted by Ray Kurzweil and microchip implant pioneer Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, the conference will explore wireless, nano-sized, in vivo devices and their future implementation in the medical field.

The conference is sponsored by United Therapeutics Corporation.
