Final Program ______ WelcomePROGRAM Letter Dear Attendee of NEMB2018: On behalf of the organizers, we would like to welcome you to Los Angeles to the 6th American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NanoEngineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (NEMB 2018). At this meeting, you will have the opportunity to discuss the most recent advances in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine with luminaries and pioneers of the field. Whether it’s a tutorial, plenary, keynote and theme presentation, a poster presentation, or a social event, we believe that you will enjoy these exciting elements of the conference. We hope you will benefit from the academic and industrial breadth of the meeting. Applications of Nanoengineering for medicine and biology are having a dramatic impact on a myriad of healthcare needs, product development and biomedical research. These include nanoparticle-based imaging probes and drug/gene carriers for new and improved disease diagnostics and therapeutics, bio-inspired nanomaterials and nanostructures, and novel Nanoengineering tools for biologicalConference and medical applications. | August These 21-24, frontiers 2018 of engineering, biology and medicine at the micro- and nano-scale will be highlighted at NEMB 2018. In addition, work contributing to completely new fundamental understandingExhibition of |biological August processes 22-23, and2018 phenomenon at the nanoscale will also be presented. Together these fundamental and applied aspects of the meeting provide the basis for solving grand challenge problems in cancer, infectious disease, cardiovascular, neurological diseases and global health. NanoengineersOMNI and Los nanoscientists Angeles areHotel indeed, changing the world and are having a profound impact on medicine and biology! California Plaza, We would like to acknowledge support for the conference from the National Science Foundation, Purdue University, WashingtonLos Angeles University ,at CA St. Louis, University of California, Irvine, University of Minnesota, and many generous funders acknowledged on our website and in our program. We would also like to acknowledge and highlight the many volunteers who helped assemble the scientific program for this conference especially our Steering Committee (Professors Abe Lee, Bumsoo Han, John Bischof, Guy Genin, Gang Bao), the Tutorial Speakers and Participants, Track Chairs, and Poster Awards committee (led by Zhenpeng Qin and Masaru Rao). You will see that amongst the Plenary and Keynote Speakers, Track Chairs and other attendees many are leading figures in the field. In addition to stimulating scientific and technical discussions, there will be ample opportunities for networking, especially for young researchers to mingle with senior investigators. Showcasing cutting edge research in Nanobioengineering with broad participation constitutes the heart of this meeting, as evident by how the talks, sessions, and tracks are constructed in the technical program. Finally, working hard behind the scenes is a devoted staff of technical assistants from ASME. The latter includes lead organizer extraordinaire Christine Reilley, Program Manager – Kanupriya Parasher and Webtool Coordinator – Laraine Lee. We wish you a productive and enjoyable stay in Los Angeles. Please stay tuned for information about the next NEMB conference!

In addition, we provide evidence that in vivo biodistribution of dCNTs is tunable by altering physical and chemical properties. TRACK 1 Stability and nontoxicity of dCNTs are essential for successful utilization in biological Nano/micro therapeutics and drug delivery systems. Long-term colloidal stability of dCNTs was evaluated by analyzing zeta po- tential (-40 to -50 mV) and physiological compatibility was optimized for ionic, systems high-serum environments. Cytotoxicity of dCNTs was evaluated in several murine and human cell-types, including prostate and myeloma cancer cell lines, as well as normal MSCs.

  • Electric-Field-Guided Precision Manipulation of Catalytic
    Article Cite This: ACS Nano 2018, 12, 1179−1187 www.acsnano.org Electric-Field-Guided Precision Manipulation of Catalytic Nanomotors for Cargo Delivery and Powering Nanoelectromechanical Devices † ‡ ‡ † ‡ Jianhe Guo, Jeremie June Gallegos, Ashley Robyn Tom, and Donglei Fan*, , † ‡ Materials Science and Engineering Program and Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: We report a controllable and precision approach in manipulating catalytic nanomotors by strategi- cally applied electric (E-) fields in three dimensions (3-D). With the high controllability, the catalytic nanomotors have demonstrated versatility in capturing, delivering, and releasing of cargos to designated locations as well as in situ integration with nanomechanical devices (NEMS) to chemically power the actuation. With combined AC and DC E-fields, catalytic nanomotors can be accurately aligned by the AC E-fields and effectively change their speeds instantly by the DC E-fields. Within the 3-D orthogonal microelectrode sets, the in-plane transport of catalytic nanomotors can be swiftly turned on and off, and these catalytic nanomotors can also move in the vertical direction. The interplaying nanoforces that govern the propulsion and alignment are investigated. The modeling of catalytic nanomotors proposed in previous works has been confirmed quantitatively here. Finally, the prowess of the precision manipulation of catalytic nanomotors by E-fields is demonstrated in two applications: the capture, transport, and release of cargos to prepatterned microdocks, and the assembly of catalytic nanomotors on NEMS to power the continuous rotation. The concepts and approaches reported in this work could further advance applications of catalytic nanomotors, e.g., for assembling and powering nanomachines, nanorobots, and complex NEMS devices.

  • Fabrication and Robotization of Ultrasensitive Plasmonic Nanosensors for Molecule Detection with Raman Scattering

Academic Editor: Shinya Maenosono Received: 4 January 2015 / Accepted: 14 April 2015 / Published: 4 May 2015 Abstracts: In this work, we introduce the history and mechanisms of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), discuss various techniques for fabrication of state-of-the-art SERS substrates, and review recent work on robotizing plasmonic nanoparticles, especially, the efforts we made on fabrication, characterization, and robotization of Raman nanosensors by design. Our nanosensors, consisting of tri-layer nanocapsule structures, are ultrasensitive, well reproducible, and can be robotized by either electric or magnetic tweezers. Three applications using such SERS nanosensors were demonstrated, including location predictable detection, single-cell bioanalysis, and tunable molecule release and monitoring. The integration of SERS and nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) devices is innovative in both device concept and fabrication, and could potentially inspire a new device scheme for various bio-relevant applications.
