A venue for young investigators to start building their careers. A home for visionaries and entrepreneurs. A society where scientists, clinicians, engineers and industry are treated as equals. A culture with respect for all ideas. The crossroads of science, engineering, regulatory and clinical practice.
ASAIO - Science, Medicine & Industry Innovating for the Future
ASAIO (formerly known as the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs) is a world class society that has been in existence for over 64 years. It strives to "save lives one medical device at a time". ASAIO's mission is to provide a forum that globally and collaboratively promotes the development of innovative medical device technology at the crossroads of science, engineering, and medicine.
This is synergistically accomplished by our interdisciplinary membership comprised of clinicians, scientists, engineers, industry, academia, the financial community, as well as representatives from the Food & Drug Administration, National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
Our interdisciplinary think-tank of developers push the envelope by continually adapting, evolving, and advancing the medical device, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine fields to provide solutions that culminate in the development of novel life-saving technologies.
ASAIO is the ideal home for visionaries with innovative ideas and young investigators eager to advance their careers. The Annual Conference provides a venue for young investigators to present early-stage research to an international audience receptive to new concepts in each of these fields.
ASAIO members have created medical device industries and academic successes that have led to many of the leading-edge devices used to treat patients today for renal (dialysis), cardiac (ventricular assist devices), pulmonary (ECMO and respiratory assist), hepatic (liver assist), pancreatic (artificial pancreas) and neurologic (brain-motor prostheses) applications.
A Unique Scientific Forum: The ASAIO Journal and Annual Conference promote excellence in basic and clinical research. Preference is given to innovative "outside-the-box" ideas and approaches to organ assist or replacement therapy.
The Future of Organ Replacement Therapy: ASAIO is focused on creating revolutionary therapies for organ failure including bioartificial and hybrid organs, bionics, as well as cell and genetic therapies.
