Polymers in Medical Device Applciations - GGPF Annual Fall Symposium
Description:
Our next Golden Gate Polymer Forum is our annual fall symposium on Monday, October 26 at "Michaels at Shoreline" in Shoreline Park, Mountain View. This one day symposium, "Polymers in Medical Device Applications", will feature seven speakers from both academia and industry. The symposium is in the form of a one day Gordon Conference, and will cover medical polymer characterization, polymer device applications, and polymer controlled release technology. This should be a great symposium! See below for more details and abstracts. To register for the dinner lecture, send electronic mail to rbeste@worldnet.att.net.
