本文总结了2012年10月4日至5日在华盛顿国家科学院举行的第一届IEEE生命科学重大挑战会议上的讨论，以及会议参与者确定的重大挑战。尽管在利用工程方法解决生物医学和健康问题方面发展知识和能力方面做出了巨大的努力，但对生命科学和医疗保健工程的这种方法的优化仍然是一个巨大的挑战。会议旨在由代表学术界、政府和工业界等不同部门的与会者进行高层讨论。与会者确定了五个领域的重大挑战，包括大脑和神经系统工程；心血管系统工程；癌症诊断、治疗和预防工程；将发现转化为临床应用；还有教育和培训。本文确定并总结了其中的一些挑战。
This paper summarizes the discussions held during the First IEEE Life Sciences Grand Challenges Conference, held on October 4-5, 2012, at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, and the grand challenges identified by the conference participants. Despite tremendous efforts to develop the knowledge and ability that are essential in addressing biomedical and health problems using engineering methodologies, the optimization of this approach toward engineering the life sciences and healthcare remains a grand challenge. The conference was aimed at high-level discussions by participants representing various sectors, including academia, government, and industry. Grand challenges were identified by the conference participants in five areas including engineering the brain and nervous system; engineering the cardiovascular system; engineering of cancer diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention; translation of discoveries to clinical applications; and education and training. A number of these challenges are identified and summarized in this paper.
