BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES WORKSHOP DUE 031595. POC Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., Attention: Frank V. Damiano, Senior Contract Administrator, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, PO Box 2008, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831-6396, Facsimile: 615-4181. Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., acting under Contract No. DE-AC05-84OR21400 issued by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), operates the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Interested individuals, corporations, colleges and universities are cordially invited to attend a Biomedical Technology Opportunities Workshop to be held April 3-4, 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia. A principal item in the strategic plan of the DOE is to combine the resources and technology of its national laboratories with those of industry to facilitate commercialization and competitiveness in the national and international markets. A biomedical technology initiative that will be a source of new funding is to be announced by DOE in the near future and will be the emphasis in a Workshop to be held on April 3-4, 1995. The main goals of this workshop are: (1) to acquaint the biomedical technology community with this new initiative; (2) to invite industrial leaders to discuss the ways that this initiative can be beneficial; and (3) to allow the national laboratories to acquaint their industrial colleagues with the biomedical technology that has already been developed. Further, it is hoped that a dynamic exchange of information will occur between the industrial leaders and national laboratory research members that will lead to development of new ventures in biomedical technology. The six topic areas for the workshop are: (1) Biomedical Sensors and Instrumentation; (2) Mammalian Models of Human Diseases; (3) Manufacturing Systems and Micromachining Technologies; (4) Bioinformatics: for Diagnostics and Image and Information Transmission, Storage, and Retrieval; (5) Biomedical Materials Development; and (6) Biomedical Technology Initiative at DOE. Each topic area will have two hours for speakers, panel discussion and floor discussion. Each speaker will be allotted approximately 20 minutes. Additionally, there will be poster sessions all day April 3 and 4. Please notify Margaret Taylor at (615)576-3651 of presentation needs (posterboards, chairs, etc.).
