DESCRIPTION:Dr Qing Wang (CHUV)\, Mr Harald van Lintel and Prof Philippe R
 enaud\nAccording to WHO 2008 report\, 17.5 million or 30% of total deaths 
 died from cardiovascular diseases\, 7.6 million people died of coronary he
 art disease\, 5.7 million from stroke. Today\, small mammals such as mouse
  and rat are widely used to investigate the pathogenesis of Human cardiova
 scular diseases and to develop new diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. T
 his requires high-precision micro technology to study the animals in the b
 est physiological conditions. Implantable wireless biosensors are increasi
 ngly being used for solving a wide variety of medical and research challen
 ges to improve research and medical quality. This workshop is focusing on 
 the development of an implantable cardiac telemetry transmitter for long-t
 erm 24-hour monitoring ventricular and vascular blood pressure etc in smal
 l rodent animals with experimental heart failure and hypertension etc. Mas
 ter and PhD Students\, postdoctoral\, academic researcher\, and medical do
 ctor are welcome to this workshop. The workshop can only accept max 25 par
 ticipants. The workshop is supported by a Sino-Swiss Science and Technolog
 y Cooperation Institutional partnerships program between CHUV-EPFL in Swit
 zerland and Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST) in China.
