Biological Information Technology Convergence (BITC-2012)

URL: http://embed.cbnu.ac.kr/conf/BITC2012/BITC.htm
Contact :kangbt@chungbuk.ac.kr
Overview
For the development and evaluation of new biomedical devices, in vitro biological systems, such as isolated cells, tissues or isolated organs, are useful in pre-clinical research. However in vitro systems are nonphysiological, therefore in vivo biological systems using live animals are necessary to study how developed devices behave under clinical or pathophysiological conditions.
Even though small animals (e.g.,mice, rats, gerbils) are often more cost-effective, and allow for relatively simpler management, they are quite different in terms of anatomy and functional aspects compared to the human. On the other hand, large animals (e.g., cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, and monkeys) are structurally and functionally similar to the human. In addition, the size of large animals is suitable for testing human medical devices.
This workshop will provide a good opportunity for researchers to know and discuss what kinds of animal models have been developed and the application of models in biomedical research.
