Thank you. - w.c. athas Workshop on Microfabricated and MEMS in Biomedical Engineering 30 Oct. 96, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Pre-conference workshop 18th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, The application of MEMS and other microfabrication technologies to biomedical problems is an area of active research and will be the focus of this workshop. The morning session will be devoted to tutorial sessions on the fabrication techniques available including both lithographic and non-lithographic processes. The remainder of the workshop will include a discussion of the advantages and the limitations one encounters when applying these devices to biological systems. The deadline for paper submission to the conference following the workshop is 1 May 96.
