3 weeks left to submit your abstract for the International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2011).
The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).
For mor information or to submit your abstract, please go to www.biotribologyconference.com
Two post-doctoral positions are available in the lab of Sachin Velankar in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on the biomechanics of surface texturing in cephalopods (octopus or cuttlefish), and to devise reversibly-morphing surfaces. These animals are famous for their camouflage abilities. Like many other animals, cephalopods can change their color, but in addition, they can also change the texture of their skin by expressing protuberances or wrinkles.
Dr Philippa Cann, Conference Chair, is pleased to announce Emeritus Professor Duncan Dowson as a plenary speaker. To read professor Dowson's biography, please go to http://www.biotribologyconference.com/speakers.asp
