History

The Society was founded in 2012, in Liverpool at its inaugural meeting that was attended by over 70 scientists from different disciplines from around the globe. [2] The motivation for creation of the society originated by the first Chair (Professor Andrew Owen) and Vice Chair (Professor Steve Rannard) of the board of trustees from the University of Liverpool, with support from colleagues at Swansea University (Professor Steve Conlan) and Herriot Watt University (Professor Vicki Stone). The inaugural meeting attracted delegates from around the world including active board members for the American Society for Nanomedicine (ASNM) and the European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine (CLINAM). [3] Since then, the society has continued to grow and has Trustees from all four nations of the United Kingdom. [4] The society has hosted annual meetings at Swansea University, the University of Strathclyde, Queen's University of Belfast, and the Francis Crick Institute in London.
