This international workshop is being hosted under the auspices of The Canada-California Strategic Innovation Partnership (CCSIP) and collaborating institutions in Canada and California. The workshop is expected to be a “catalyst for collaborative Research, Development and Delivery (RD&D) between two innovation-intensive jurisdictions: California, one of the most dynamic innovation engines on earth; and Canada, a leading country in university research intensity.” It is to promote the “development of new models of bilateral collaboration” and “bring together brilliant minds and innovation resources from California and Canada.” This workshop will focus on “Endoscopic Technologies for Minimally Invasive Diagnosis” and will bring together clinicians, scientists and engineers with the specific goal of researching and developing customized engineering solutions to pressing problems in endoscopic diagnostic imaging. Attendees of the workshop will include clinicians, engineers, scientists, business officials, government and funding agencies representatives and will feature the following and related topics.

===== Topics: =====


  * Describing the use of  minimally-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic devices (endoscope, laparoscope, endovascular catheters, etc.) their demonstrated significant benefits to both the patients and the health care system in terms of early detection, effective treatment, speedy recovery and lowered overall cost. \\

  * Development of a bilateral collaborative research and technology development roadmap by a  team of researchers from Canada and California who are focused on developing engineering solutions to enhance existing endoscopic diagnostic and treatment procedures. \\ 

  * Establish strategies for a bilateral research network though market research, industry outreach, lobbying, and in exploring potential funding opportunities and specific new collaborative research projects. \\ 

  * Tutorial lectures by world leading experts in diagnostic imaging and clinical applications.\\  


In addition to oral presentations, half a day will be devoted to poster presentations by students and researchers working in various aspects of biomedical technologies for minimally invasive diagnosis – clinical research and requirements, engineering prototypes and solutions, and scientific inquiry.\\
