2. Scope of “2ndInternational Symposium onNanomedicine (ISNM2009)” and “Asian Core Symposium-Nano and Biomedical Molecular Science” The combination of top-down and bottom-up nanotechnologies started a real revolution in nanotechnology. Medical treatment is one of the good fieldswhere we will find applications of this new technology. As a result, we can expect these new technologies to be used to develop novel devices of treating cancer and many other intractable diseases. The aims of this symposium are (1) to provide a platform on which to discuss the future prospects for these science-technologies and construct an international human network in the field of Nano and Biomedical Molecular Science, and (2) to incubate excellent young generation researchers in this field utilizing this network. Concerning these aims, we especially consider the importance of Asian network, and arrange the “Asian Core Symposium-Nano and Biomedical Molecular Science” as a sub-session of the Symposium. Neuroscience relating subjects are focused in this sub-session. Plenary Talk Hiroo IWATA (Kyoto Univ.)
