Dear Colleagues,
The American Society for Nanomedicine is a registered non-profit organization. We hope to cultivate an open forum of ideas and collaborative efforts, alongside close cooperation and coordination with our American and international colleagues. The membership base of ASNM is drawn from diverse, yet overlapping fields such as nanotechnology, engineering, medicine, law, policy, ethics, toxicology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and biomedical sciences. As a member, you will have the opportunity to participate (including being a candidate) in the open elections for the society officers, board members and operating committees, and receive reduced rates to attend ASNM conferences.
Please note that membership is not limited to US citizens. For colleagues in the industry, you are invited to join our innovative, dynamic society by signing up your company as a corporate member. We look forward to seeing you at the conference and benefiting from your active participation in the American Society for Nanomedicine.
Below are the ASNM Conference Programs from 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Nano-needles for cells Nano-sized needles developed by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim can force medicine into cells, even when the cell membranes offer resistance. The needles will make it easier to study the effects of medicines on cells. [more] ................................................................... Scientists build record-setting metamaterial flat lens For the first time, scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new type of lens that bends and focuses ultraviolet (UV) light in such an unusual way that it can create ghostly, 3D images of objects that float in free space. The easy-to-build lens could lead to improved photolithography, nanoscale manipulation and manufacturing, and even high-resolution three-dimensional imaging, as well as a number of as-yet-unimagined applications in a diverse range of fields.
