NMIN Scientific Meeting In its first Scientific Meeting, the recently established Nanomedicines Innovation Network (NMIN) will gather its pan-Canadian teams of experts and other stakeholders by invitation to advance:

NMIN’s plans to support innovative new research and commercialization strategies for nanomedicinesdevelopment and uptake within the healthcare system;

NMIN’s efforts to build capacity in the next generation of nanomedicine researchers and entrepreneurs tostrengthen Canada’s position as a global leader in nanomedicines innovation; and

networking and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, trainees, industry and government.

The Nanomedicines Innovation Network (NMIN) is advancing “smart” medicines to defeat disease by delivering small molecule drugs to disease sites and accelerating gene therapy. NMIN aims to establish and mobilize a network drawn from academia, industry, and not-for-profit research enterprises to maintain and improve Canada’s position as a global leader in developing next generation nanomedicines.

NMIN’s mission is to develop novel therapeutics to cure high-burden human diseases and new diagnostics to detect disease more precisely; to commercialize these products to bring health and economic benefits to Canadians; and to train the skilled workforce required by the growing nanomedicines industry. NMIN is funded by the Government of Canada through the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) Program.

Meeting Venue

NMIN’s Scientific Meeting will be held at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, one of Vancouver's most extraordinary buildings nestled in the center of the exciting downtown district at 1088 Burrard Street, a short distance from such attractions as Stanley Park, Yaletown and shopping on Robson Street.
