Recently, the 2019 Workshop on Application of Biomechanics in Clinical Treatment and Rehabilitation & 1st International Conference on “Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices” was successfully held at Beihang University.
Some renowned experts in the fields of biomedical engineering from world-class universities in such countries and regions as America, Britain, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Hong Kong were invited. They made academic exchanges and discussions around the application of biomechanics in medicine and rehabilitation, as well as new equipment and technology frontiers in medical treatment (which is closely related to biomedical engineering), especially the latest progress in cardiovascular treatments, orthodontics and prosthodontics, osteoarthritis treatments, rehabilitation engineering, onocology and ophthalmology. Prof. Fan Yubo, Dean of the Interdisciplinary Innovation Institute for Medicine and Engineering, served as chairman of the conference.
At the opening ceremony, Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, the newly established journal was inaugurated by Prof. Fan Yubo and Prof. Scott Holister, who are the editors-in-chief of the journal, Prof. Zheng Chenggong, the executive editor, together with Li Deyu, Director of the International Division of Beihang University, Leo YING, Representative of Elsevier.
