The services of the European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine

The CLINAM-network overcomes the gaps between clinicians, researchers, technicians, and all those profiting from nanomedical treatment and furthers the interdisciplinary debate. With this in mind this it has elaborated a portfolio of services:

Running the European Society for Nanomedicine (ESNAM)

The European Society for Nanomedicine (ESNAM), is an academic professional society for physicians, researchers, and other professionals working in the clinical field of Nanomedicine. It is also open to those providing clinical tools or producing compounds for clinical use. The European Society for Nanomedicine is funded by annual member-fees and by grants from the Foundation. The society is administrated in Spain at the promises of the actual president, Prof. Dr. Simo Schwartz and can be reached under www.esnam.org

Realization of the annual European Summit for Clinical Nanomedicine

The European Summit for Clinical Nanomedicine is held annually. Numerous experts in the field of clinical Nanomedicine determine the annual state of the art and the development in key fields of medicine. Additionally, the conference provides multiple venues for technical developers and industrial producers to meet and interact with the clinicians.

Publishing of the European Journal for Clinical Nanomedicine

The foundation started the European Journal for Clinical Nanomedicine. Since 3 years the journal has changed its name to Precision Nanomedicine.. PRNANO is online only. Articles are published continuously on a rolling basis, then organized into quarterly issues (January, April, July, and Oct

It is a Nonprofit Gold Open Access https://precisionnanomedicine.com/. It is the official CLINAM Journal.  It does not charge submission or APC (article procession) fees. All content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. The Mission of the journal is to promote all practical, rational, and progressive aspects of nanomedicine includingtheory and practice. Authors are invited to send submissions in basic science, translational, preclinical, and clinical research. PRNANO accepts original manuscripts, as well as replication studies and discussions of negative results as long as they are clearly marked as such and move the field forward. Detailed information is seen under the Section Journal on our website.

The Nanomedicine-Ethics-Programme

The progress on the field of biomedical research opens entirely new perspectives for the treatment of diseases, but also raises the question of the responsible use of these new technologies and knowledge. The Foundation invites experts in ethics to each of their Summits to discuss most relevant ideas with philosophers, sociologists, members if ethic-institutions. . Additionally, the safety and compatibility of new medical practices and therapies as well as the high transparency of nanomedicine towards the patient are discussed in public debates.

The Further Education Programme

In its study on Nanomedicine the European Science Foundation writes that next to the interdisciplinary cooperation there is a strong need to broaden the opportunities for further education. The Foundation coordinates its efforts with all those already working in this field and promotes already existing further education facilities, such as summer schools It also offers the active co-operation in further education programmes. New as from January 2021 CLINAM offers during the year 12 CLINAM Web-debates.

Conception and Start-up of a European Nanomedical Research Lab

The CLINAM-Foundation has a group of researchers that uses as their hub the CLINAM Lab Space for Clinical Nanomedicine in Basel. The crew was founded out of the still existing Swissnano-lab of Prof. Dr. med. Patrick Hunziker. http://swissnano.org/members.html .
