1 世 界 華 人 生 物 醫 學 工 程 協 會 World Association for Chinese Biomedical Engineers 7 th WACBE World Congress on Bioengineering 6 th - 8 th July 205 Singapore Organised & Hosted by Department of Biomedical Engineering Faculty of Engineering

2 世 界 華 人 生 物 醫 學 工 程 協 會 World Association for Chinese Biomedical Engineers Organised & Hosted by Department of Biomedical Engineering Faculty of Engineering Endorsed by Sponsor Supporters FOREWORD On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the WACBE World Congress on Bioengineering 205 (WACBE 205), we would like to warmly welcome you to this meeting. This congress is part of a series that began in 2002 and we had six meetings thus far. This year s meeting is jointly organized by the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Biomedical Engineering Society (Singapore) (BES). This congress is also endorsed by the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE). We are glad to report that we have more than 250 participants from 7 countries. In this congress, we have received close to 300 abstracts with 50 being keynote/invited presentations. The rest of the contributed abstracts were peer-reviewed, with 24 accepted for oral and 99 accepted for poster presentations. Out of these accepted abstracts, we received 55 final papers submitted for the proceedings, with 2 being invited papers, 25 oral presentation papers and 28 Poster papers. We are very honoured to have Prof Kam Leong as the inaugural Savio Woo Distinguished Lecturer, as well as other very prominent speakers as our Plenary and Keynote Speakers. Each of these speakers is an authority in their field of research and we are grateful that they are able to participate in this congress. We do know that the success of a congress lies in the participation of the delegates and the quality of papers presented. Nevertheless, we also know that this will not be possible without the help and effort put in by the volunteers, reviewers, as well as the members of the Organizing Committee, Scientific Committee and the International Advisory Committee. Their dedicated contributions to this meeting are very much acknowledged and appreciated. We would also like to sincerely thank our sponsors, supporters and exhibitors for contributing to the success of this congress. Finally, we would like to thank the staff of INMEET CMS Pte Ltd who has ensured the smooth running of the congress. Finally, to all our delegates, I hope this WACBE 205 meeting will not only be one where excellent scientific ideas are exchanged and shared, but also friendships are renewed and new friends made. Do enjoy the congress as well as the sights and sounds of Singapore! Best wishes Prof James Goh Chairman Prof Chwee Teck LIM Scientific Program Chair WACBE 205 Organizing Committee 7th WACBE World Congress on Bioengineering
