Third Annual Minnesota Biomedical Nanotechnology Workshop
November 10, 2006
Thanks to all those who participated in this year's MN BioNanotech workshop!  With 14 speakers, 10 poster presenters, and over 160 registered attendees, the event was a great success.  We hope that the meeting kept you up to date on developments at the nano-medicine interface here at the University of Minnesota, at the Mayo Clinic, and elsewhere.  We also hope that you keep the contacts you made.  The list of attendees is still posted here.

Thanks for making this year's workshop a great meeting!
