Welcome to Biomed 2008, the 4th Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 25-28 June 2008.

We, at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, believe that Biomed 2008 will be a great event in bringing together academicians and practitioners in engineering and medicine in this ever progressing field, just as we did in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

We urge you to present your papers at this international conference and network with other researchers in the region. The deadline for the call of papers is now extended to 10 February 2008. Whether you wish to present a paper, exhibit, or attend as a delegate, register your interest in being a participant of Biomed 2008. It will be an experience you do not want to miss.

And for the first time ever, you can now submit and track your paper online! Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and those accepted will be published by Springerlink as part of the IFMBE Proceedings Series.

As we say in Malaysia, "Selamat Datang", meaning welcome. We look forward to meeting you personally at Biomed 2008.
