GNB 2018 The Congress is the melting pot among biomedical research - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The Congress is the melting pot among biomedical research and clinical end users fully inserted in the framework of the most advanced international research in bioengineering, which combines the engineering background with the clinical one. Held on a biannual base, it provides an overview of recent activities and breakthrough research in the field of Biomedical Engineering and aims at involving all members of the scientific and industrial communities: scientists, end users, stakeholders, entrepreneurs and startuppers in a win-win scenario.

TOPICS: OVERVIEW

• 1. Cutting edge research for active ageing and healthy living

This research represents one of the pillars of the societal challenge of the H2020 EU framework program oriented to counteract the population ageing of the western countries and the concurrent shortage of healthcare operators. It is a multidisciplinary research involving also key enabling technologies for industries working in the healthcare sector and in satellite activities. The main topics are those of early biomarkers detection, prevention and personalized precision treatment, with attention to allow home living with normal daily life activities.

• 2. Digital revolution of big data for genomics and

transcriptomics

Advancements in genomics and personalized medicine not only effect healthcare delivery from patient and provider standpoints, but also reshape biomedical discovery. We are in the era of the “-omics”, wherein an individual’s genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome can be scrutinized to the finest resolution to paint a personalized biochemical fingerprint that enables tailored treatments, prognoses, risk factors, etc. Digitization of this information parlays into “big data” informatics-driven evidence-based medical practice.

• 3. Regenerative medicine and biorobotics

Replacement of a damaged organ is already made possible by artificial organs and devices (like hip, knee, heart valves, vascular stents, insulin pumps, dialysis, etc). But soon, we will be able to regenerate tissues by innovative bio-artificial products containing live cells. The product classes primarily addressed are dermatologic, wound care, musculo-skeletal and heart repair, neurologic repair and inflammatory disease (Crohn’s disease, arthritis). Innovation in this field is carried by frontier research in biomaterials, biomechanics and technologies for cell

• manipulation. We can also replace functional systems by robotic prostheses or robotic
• exoskeletons. Bioinspired miniaturized robots can also travel inside our body and perform

diagnosis or repair tissue in a minimally invasive way.

• 4. Frontier technologies for health

Biomedical engineering is pervasive and ubiquitous in health and in medicine. New engineering devices and new systems for health are daily designed and manufactured. In no other technical and scientific field the technological progress is so fast and promising. Frontier technologies of bioengineering are revolutionizing medicine and, hence health, impacting in areas such as, for example, brain and cognition, big data for health, computational biology and modelling, biomedical and health informatics, environmental health, sensors and systems.
