Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT) 17th/18th Annual Congress

Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT) 17th/18th Annual Congress is organized by Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT) and will be held from Jul 08 - 11, 2021 at Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California, United States of America. This conference also available as virtual.

The audience includes:
Neuroscientists, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, radiologists, pathologists, Oncologists, Chemists, engineers (material, electrical, biomedical, aeronautics and computer), stem cell and molecular biologists, nanotechnologists, pharmacologists and rehabilitation medicine scientists and physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists. Undergraduate and graduate students are welcomed. The program also covers the great work done by post-doctoral candidates, fellows and world leaders in the field.

CME Need Assessment
The North American Spine Society is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The North American Spine Society designates this spine session of SBMT (Didactic sections only) for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Description:
The conference aim is to create a critical mass by introducing synergy amongst inter-disciplinary researchers to further understand the brain function and nervous system. It will serve as a platform from which to develop interactions between many of the stakeholders who also have extensive collaborations at national and international levels.

The conference provides the opportunity to be at the forefront of brain sciences, therapeutics in general and neural stem cells interventions in particular. It provides a strong platform for industry and biotech companies to interact with academia in frontiers of science in this field for translational initiatives involving diverse patient's interest groups.

Topics:
• Neurosurgery (e.g. Image Guided Therapy/intervention, brain tumors and intraoperative navigation, nanoneurosurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, minimally invasive therapy, vascular neurosurgery, functional neurosurgery, neurotrauma/military medicine, surgical simulation...)

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of the scientific meeting, participants should be able to:

• identify and apply new findings in brain mapping (BM) & therapeutics most relevant to their own sub-specialty (i.e., imaging, image guided therapy, nanotechnology, stem cell and/or device)..
• Describe the effect of the newly developed methods in medical imaging, medical devices, nanotechnology, and stem cell/cellular therapy.
• Discuss and design the possible future research and developments in BM, therapeutics and nano-bio-electronics and assess the possible impact of such research and development on their own clinical and scientific work in the future.
• Describe and assess the lates cutting-edge technological advancement in BM & therapeutics such as the emerging field of nano-bio-electronics (integration of nanotechnology with stem cell/cellular therapy, medical imaging and medical devices).
• Explain ways to build a bridge amongst multiple disciplines.
• Build bridges amongst multiple disciplines.
• Recognize advancements in other disciplines and explain how such advancements could help them formulate new diagnostics and treatment modalities.
• Discuss and describe governmental agencies, foundations
